there are other Iranians in Paralympics, paid to compete for Turkiye but only this one completely changed his name, guess why ? probably to not get identified. :d didn't work well.

I found another one.

 

Roman Moustopoulos represented Greece in Judo at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

 

Now he competed for Turkiye as Vedat Albayrak.

Of we go with the cycling road ITTs.  Many races running concurrently in several different bunches, short 14.1k course & safely out in the suburbs.

 

Pretty flat & twisty course.

So many reigning Olympic champions are participating in these Paralympic Games, who knew. At least according to the Paralympic channel's own commentator teams :p

something interesting for you guys

 

this guy who won a gold medal yesterday and will probably win another one in next few days

https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024-paralympics/athlete/serkan-yildirim_2000715

 

is in fact the same person as this guy

https://worldathletics.org/athletes/islamic-republic-of-iran/sajjad-hashemiahangari-14422407

 

and he is not blind,  he is a national record holder in Iran in 400m and 2012 Olympian

 

I'm no doctor but I highly doubt he is qualified to participate in Paralympics in T12 class. he probably has a better eyesight than some of us here.

 

there are other Iranians in Paralympics, paid to compete for Turkiye but only this one completely changed his name, guess why ? probably to not get identified. :d didn't work well.

I assume by now it's been mentioned, but I hadn't come across this so I thought I'd mention it to be sure: that 100m gold is a DQ now :p 

 

I'm curious about the behind the scenes there though. He would of course not be the first able-bodied athlete who loses a limb, eyesight or something and has to switch to para sports (I mean, I'm living with an athlete who in a matter of weeks lost half the vision in one of her eyes this year due to a parasite, which may come back at any moment in life and might force a switch to para sports if things get bad, so I can kind of imagine how fast things can in fact go in terms of losing abilities).

Seems like the DQ is more about the process and proper procedures not having yet been followed than him beeing deemed an actual fraud by the IPC?

    • With a week to go till the deadline for the world invitational,the rosters look beefy for the discus on both sides.24 entries for the men[19 accepted in so far] and 25 for the women[18 accepted so far] For the men so far there are three 70 meter throwers[i count Denny as that since it's just 4 centimeters off his pb]10 from mid 66 to low 69,three of 65 and over,four from almost 64 to almost 65.On the women's side the 18 accepted throwers all have a pb of over 60 meters.11 of them have  pbs over 64 plus.of the ones still not there besides Valerie and Yaime who have been marketed so i can only assume they will join,such names as  Sandra Elkasevic,Bin Feng,and jordine van klinken aren't signed up yet,jordine's probably the most likely of them to join in tough feng would be a cool surprise,i somehow don't see Sandra doing this,but it would be awesome if she did.Stahl and ceh aren't in yet on the men's side,ceh has been marketed while stahl hasn't been mentioned at all,[pretty sure stahl will not be there],Lukas[last name is too wild for me to even try] and lawrence okoye aren't there yet either but i'm betting both will be joining in.
    • What a shame. That would have been amazing.
    • It's complete American domination in the women's discus rankings so far this year,they occupy the top 4 slots,and the WORST result of those four was achieved at Ramona .Third place currently belongs to Ciera Jackson who had a huge almost 4 METER pr at the west coast relays on friday-64.42[previous best was 60.77 from march of 2023,and she opened her season a week ago with at that time her second best result ever of 60.14]she also had a 63.66 throw to back this new pb up,and finally with her new personal best she took down the school record that stood for 36 YEARS[Btw Valerie Allman actually competed in Ramona on march 30th but conditions were apparently far from ideal and she fouled four times and her best was a 63.61,i don't doubt that in the event that she competes in the  world intational,the conditions will be perfect,i wouldn't be so bold as to say she wouldl get the world record but for sure i think she could get a new personal best.
