What a fantastic day for Brazil at the Paralympics, with several records:

 

  • Most gold medals won at a Paralympic Games ever.
  • Most total medals won at a Paralympic Games ever.
  • Most golds and total medals won in a single day at a Paralympic Games ever.

 

All this on our Independence Day :BRA.

Congratulations :d 

 

:NED is having it's most succesful Paralympics in terms of medals I'd say as well. There were more in 1988 and a lot more in 1984, but I wouldn't count those as 'more succesfull', considering there were a ridiculous amount of classes and categories to win medals in (literally hundreds more than now).

:IRI Gharibshari with a new PR of 247 kgs!

Literally the last day of the Paralympics and it still took me like 10 minutes to understand this was a Paralympic record and not a 'personal record' :d (which I know is PB in English, but in Dutch is always abbreviated as PR and it just got too stuck in my mind :p)

 

I mean, I've been seeing 'PR' (as in, Paralympic record) a billion times this week in swimming and athletics, one would think I'd have learned by now.

It took me about 60 years to understand what "seconds out" means in boxing.  :facepalm:

    • there were rumors about it for quite a while, but as I wrote, it was never confirmed so, it might well be just some haters throwing out some shit on her 🤷
    • Where did you get that?   I'm not sure I would have considered her to have dissapeared from out of nowhere, at least since after Tokyo... she did win medals at the next two World Championships. I think it's just recently, she's been struggling with injury which is why she's completely out of form... 
    • Even though I'm not the biggest fan of her, always sucks to see a career ending through injury and not on your own terms 
    • This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.
    • Mary Rand has died aged 86. The first British woman to win a Gold in track and field at the 1964 Tokyo Games (where she also took home a further two medals in the Women’s 4x100m relay and Pentathlon).
    • Athing Mu competed in the USA trials in 2024 and 2025 post the 2023 rule changes. She also won Gold in 2022 and Bronze in 2023.    Jelimo the jury is out. She doesn’t look male like the other two do.   
    • People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.
    • badminton queen Carolina Marin announced that she can't take part into the home Europeans in the upcoming weeks because of her injured knee and calls it a career 😭  
    • yes, there are (or there was, at least) don't forget that the women's 800m had world and olympic champions like Semenya, Jelimo and Nyonsaba...basically, it was 10 years of DSD winners only the same Athing Mu was suspected to be DSD (never confirmed, but somehow she totally disappeared after Tokyo) then, there were the 2 girls from Namibia (1 won a medal over 200m in Tokyo) in Italy we have the living scandal Valentina Petrillo (a paralympian!!!), who's actually a real man not to mention the weightlifter from who took part into the Tokyo Games so, it's a real problem all around the globe, not just a US crusade against a few woke idiots
