2024 Paralympics - August 28 - September 8

Wheelchair rugby team leads Germany comfortably (27-21) at half time, looking to record their first win of these Paralympics.

Men’s wheelchair basketball team down 39-41 to France at the half 

Seriously, what happened to this team.

Wheelchair rugby team defeats Germany 54-47. Game wasn’t close at all, so we had some of our starters (including Madell) rest for at least part of the match

Lakatos hung with Hug in his heat 

 

Or maybe he eased up a bit?

I'm watching the replay now. Looks like they were both working together for most of the race since they were well ahead of the field. Like what happens in a cycling race.

Time for Day 3 of the Paralympics!

 

Guillaume Ouellet in the men’s 5000m T13 (final at 1:14 AM PST/4:14 AM EST), Mel Pemble in women’s 500m time trial C1-3 (final at 4:35 AM PST/7:35 AM EST) are all medal chances but our biggest chance today is probably Nicholas Bennett in men’s 200m freestyle S14 (final at 8:34 AM PST/11:34 AM EST). There’s a chance for a multi-medal performance too, with Danielle Dorris and Tess Routliffe in women’s 200m individual medley SM7. (final at 11:10 AM PST/2:10 PM EST)

Why the hell doesn’t CBC sports get the streaming rights to pretty much everything? 

 

Wanted to watch para archery now, but nope.  
 

VPN doesn’t work as a solution, my computer is getting fixed.
