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

    • Meanwhile, it's about 7 hours to go until we can really start getting some first results other than the 3-3 in Dixville Notch     This is more or less what we're going to start the night with, but probably it's going to come down to Pennsylvania in the end.    
    • Has everyone seen the leaked report on the Algerian boxer?
    • Is the Grand Final officially this Saturday?
    • Huh, there's still countries buying F-16's?     Coincidentally we said goodbye to our last ones a little over a month ago (Belgian ones are still sometimes flying here though).
    • Yeah, Harris might not be great, it is still definitely better than having an outright psychopath as president, again. At the very least it should be someone who is at least capable and willing to, you know, communicate like an adult. Trump very clearly can not do that, although one would assume his childish yelling and overall immensely bizarre way of speaking (from his intonation to his 'we did great, everyone thought it was great, they couldnt believe how great I was!') must appeal to a certain kind of person, I suppose.
    • Alix Klineman has also announced her retirement following the conclusion of the AVP League    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DB9CZwrPfqj/?igsh=MTZiaDk0NndmaTAzcQ==   What a sad year for beach volleyball, with Brouwer, Meeuwsen, Ludwig, Bobner, Pavan, and now these two retiring. 
    • It's good that Argentina is starting to get back on track economically. Every year, all of our alpine skiing teams train in August in Argentina in Ushuaia: "Fine del Mundo", as it advertises itself.
    • The relation of Trump with Russia and, more specific, with Putin is probably the most controversial (being generous) thing of the presidence of Trump, i dont believe the same but is clearly that China help democrats in that election, both are playing their games.   In Argentina the society is clearly divided, the people who are in the left side of the politics, peronist and kirchnerism are very against the goverment, propably the only genuine "rigth-wing" goverment since the recovery of the democracy in 1983. For me and the most part who are in the rigth wing: libertarians, nacionalist and conservatives, is probably the best goverment we see to this days, he made in his first year with a very few legislators in the congress some big and good changes:   1) In the economical: the inflation is only 3% per month since a more of 15% in the last months of the last year, Argentina has now fiscal, financial and comercial surplus-   2) Our country didnt have fighter planes and the goverment buy 24  American F16  -   3) He changes the electoral sistem for a "single ballot" sistem, we have an obsolete electoral sistem that doesnt change from the 19 century and specially, the peronist use for make fraud.   4) In my personal case, he really update the tax sistem for small/medium profesionals and traders.......and that save us to pay the 50% of our earnings to the state.   With a big expectations in the goverment, its better than i thinked before.
    • It could be better, or it could be much worse, for example, if the accusations that he has been accepting large amounts of money from Russia since 2017 are confirmed. Now let Harris win, which will end Trump's political career and I hope that in 4 years the Republicans will put up someone more predictable.     btw, how is this controversial president of Argentina doing?
    • More predictable is not always better, for me the goverment of Biden was one of the worst of the History of USA and i cant imagine what can happen with even a worse version like Harris is.   I hope, for the contrary, Trump be elected and "may be" the things changes for the better in the world.
