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?

 

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"

"Grandma" Clara Podda losed the 1st match in table tennis  

[dcro 10,193]

Paović defeats 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)
