I am curious, it's  now the time when we will get less than 25 medals, so finally someone will find solution to improve the system of paralympic sport or we will try getting medals by non system organisation in our sport.

150 athletes in 16 sports for . The goal is 40 medals and 10 golds.

Does anyone know if any  swimmers will be competing at the Paralympics? Russian wikipedia says there are 6, all from .

Some events at the Paralympics will be live-streamed on YouTube! Non geo-blocked too I believe, so if your local broadcaster isn’t showing any particular events you want to watch then you’re in luck!

All events?! Wow, that'd be awesome, especially since YouTube is by far the easiest platform to rewatch when you've missed something.

 

I don't know which events I want to watch, but Dutch broadcaster is NOS, so they aren't going to show anything at all most likely.

I’m not completely sure on that, don’t know why I assumed 

 

All of Canada’s sitting volleyball matches (and a bunch of others obviously) will be streamed on YouTube, unlike in previous editions of the Paralympics (at least according to our federations sitting Volleyball Instagram account), so I’d have to assume there’s at least going to be more coverage.
