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

 

 

8 medals are definitely cool too I think Good luck to your athletes, hope they will enjoy the games have a lot of fun and great memories and return back with many medals

Well, of course Vinicius... he just looks so happy and confident with it, no pose, no effort, pure & natural glamour

Thanks bud.

 

There no strict goals for our team this time, but we have some medal chances too ofc, especially with Veronika Vadovičová in womens air rifle tomorrow, there a real chance for Slovakia to win the very first medal of the Rio paralympics, which would be awesome and there also some other medal chances in table tennis and track and road cycling..but we are usually much better in winter paralympics, mainly in alpine skiing Slovakia is one of the top countries, I remember we won the medal count of this sport in Vancouver 2010, in summer editions we aren´t so good...but who know, maybe Rio will be a lucky place for us like it was during the olympics, so we´ll see

Of course we couldn't have a ceremony without rain, but is giving some effect to the relay. This is the most emotional moment, so great to see these heroes carrying the flame.
