Why they booing and after they clap the hand? What stupid moment :lol: 

 

People booed when he started talking about the government. Then applauded when he returned to talk about the athletes...

and btw John Twomey of Ireland is going to compete his 11th paralympics :yikes::bowdown: He started as a table tennis player, later he became a discus thrower and in the couple of last paralympics he compete in sailing :d

 

Raise you one. 74 year old Libby Kosmala of Australia is competing in her twelfth games (1972-2016). Had it not been for an administrative error she would also have competed in 1968.

An awesome career indeed :)

 

Ireland's target is 8 medals at these Paralympics which is much lower than last time in London 2012 where we won 8 golds and 16 medals in total. Jason Smyth and Michael McKillop will be going for their 4th gold medals on the track here. Hoping for some good results :)

    • 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...
