Oh by the way, Trinity Lowthian’s 5th in women’s category B epee is Canada’s best ever result at the Paralympics in wheelchair fencing!

 

Edit: And she’s only 19 too, she’s got a bright future ahead of her!

Sorry I'm not posting more about the Paralympics this week. I'm super busy at work and have been battling...something. A cold? Allergies? Covid yet again? I don't know. 

 

I've been watching highlights and depending on you here to keep up. A slow start, but finishing strong to beat Tokyo. Hopefully I'll be able to watch some this weekend.

And it’s time. The final weekend and the final two days of the Paralympics.  
 

Big day, hopefully it won’t be a complete flop. 
 

We start off with Alexandre Hayward in the men’s C1-3 road race (12:30 AM PST/3:30 AM EST), then go back to the track for Austin Smeenk as he takes on the men’s 800m T34 final (1:11 AM PST/4:11 AM EST), Brianna Hennessy searches for Canada’s first Paralympic medal in canoe sprint in women’s VL2 200m (2:52 AM PST/5:52 AM EST) but if not we’ll get a second chance with Erica Scarff assuming she makes the final (3:36 AM PST/6:36 AM EST), then switch back to the road for Nathan Clement in men’s T1-2 road race (3:45 AM PST/6:45 AM EST), continue on with the women’s sitting volleyball bronze medal match against Brazil (6:00 AM PST/9:00 AM EST), during then will most likely be the men’s wheelchair bronze medal match against Germany (7:00 AM PST/10:00 AM EST), Shelby Newkirk, Danielle Dorris, and Tess Routliffe will look to add to our medal total of 11 on the final day of para swimming action in the women’s 100m backstroke S6 (Newkirk) at 8:53 AM PST/11:53 AM EST and in the women’s 50m butterfly at 9:36 AM PST/12:36 PM EST where Dorris is the reigning Paralympic Champion, Nate Reich will also attempt to defend his Paralympic title in the men’s 1500m T38 final (10:09 AM PST/1:09 PM EST) and rising star Noah Vucsics takes on the men’s long jump T20 final (10:20 AM PST/1:20 PM EST)

    • North Korea is back to participating. I thought they may have withdrawn as they withdrew their women's hockey team
    • The Games are in China so I think the North Koreans will be taking part.
    • Speaking for myself, it is a bit daunting to think of nominations from nothing. Some kind of "long list" suggestion would be nice, but the work to come up with something like 30-50 options for each category would be quite onerous on the host/committee.
    • Before the last round only two teams are secured to play in round of 16: Liverpool and Barcelona   Already qualified at least at second round (playoff or R16): Arsenal, Aston Villa, Atalanta, Atleti, Bayern, Brest, Celtic, Dortmund, Feyenoord, Inter, Juventus, Leverkusen, Lille, Milan, Monaco, Real Madrid     There are nine teams with an elimination confirmed: Bologna, Crvena Zvezda, Girona, Leipzig, Salzburg, Slovan Bratislava, Sparta Praha, Sturm Graz, Young Boys   Last round next week
    • finishes their surprising bracket run with a bronze medal in men's ice hockey, despite only winning 1/4 group stage matches 
    • There were also a few other medal opportunities that ultimately didn't pan out for Bulgaria, but it was fun to see their athletes mixing it up for the medals  
    • Recently, the Winter FISU Games seem to attract a mix of world cup athletes, top level junior athletes, athletes from nations without much winter sports tradition and a handful of olympians. It's an interesting mix.
    • Maybe...but it's only taken Vonn about three weeks to get back so....
