Bombshell announcement by the IPC today: https://games24.totallympics.com/?p=1690

 

I’m rather shocked by this. It’s the most played paralympic sport worldwide. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

I like how there is no bulshit with IPC. Russia doping - banned. Belarus protesting - banned. Wheelchair basketball irregulations - removed.

 

If only IOC had a spine like that...

It’s truly blissful isn’t it. They have to be one of the best governed sports bodies worldwide.

 

My general rule is that people who grew up on the bottom, generally know how to better govern than those who grew up on top. Many of the people in the Paralympic movement grew up in the face discrimination, hardship, etc., so they want to make things as free, as fair, and as equal as possible.

 

If you read the article I posted a few days ago, you can see that the IPC is always looking for ways to improve the sports they govern. It’s so refreshing, and it’s one of the reasons I like Para-Sports so much.

 

I can’t wait for the Paralympics this summer (with or without Wheelchair Basketball :p)

Jozef Metelka did it again, 7th Indidual 4000m Pursut world title in a row, since 2014 he never failed to win the Individual Pursuit gold World Championships or Paralympic Games.

 

Congrats !

 

by this win he is also leading the Omnium by 14 points with one last event (scratch) remaining

and he won 2 other Gold medals in Scratch and Omnium. so 3 G 1 S this time.

 

Next goal clear : Repeat Rio 2016 in Tokyo and became again the most successful cyclist at the Paralympics

I've just discovered paralympic powerlifting and I'm in love with this sport. It's so exciting to watch! I never trusted weightlifting after so many doping scandals, so I could never get into it, but powerlifting is absolutely amazing!

    • Arrived in Milan.   First impressions: -There is graffiti everywhere, literally  
    • Someone please tell me every single athlete who didn't qualify for the big air final has at least one more event to go? The chance of athletes' Olympics being done before the opening ceremony would be utterly ridiculous...
    • Don't know what they were saying to each other, but one thing on time management is that there is never any debate in : they just instantly agree with what the other is planning to do.
