Great Britain remain dominant in the velodrome!! All 4 Brits in action today qualified for their gold medal individual pursuit races, so 4 medals for sure and one gold at leats as the C5 Pursuit is an all British final. Plus, in the Women's C3 and Men's Tandom B GB are fastest qualifiers with world records!!!

 

I'm quite surprised to see a lot of people in the Track Cycling venue. But that's probably because many people didn't have a chance to visit the venue during Olympics (expensive tickets), so now it's the perfect time.

I thought this parade would be faster, but it's actually on pair with the Olympics one.

 

Both parades were quite leisure, is that usual in Brazil? :d

 

For example, the names of the countries are usually pronounced inside a few seconds (in French, English and home language at Olympics, no French at Paralympics). Here it was something like: "Angola... (10 seconds pause) Angola"

:CRO Paović defeats :KOR Lee in table tennis round 1 (11-7, 11-1, 11-4).

 

Sandra Paović was our Olympian in 2008, but had a car crash few months later which left her in this condition. Now she is going for gold (undefeated in the last 2.5 years) :)

Gold for Vietnam and Silver for Jordan in men's powerlifting -49 :clap: 

That was the first ever medal for Vietnam at the Paralympic Games, so Rio 2016 has been fantastic for Vietnam:

First ever Olympic gold medal and first ever Paralympic medal

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
