Summer Paralympic Games 2016 Official Thread


Recommended Posts

First sporting event is set to get underway any second with the Women's 10m Air Rifle Standing SH1 qualification, however unlike the Olympics Shooting will not be the first sport to award a gold medal, instead the first gold medal will be won on the track with the Men's 5000m T11. This will most likely be a showdown between Brazil and Chile, so a South American nation is highly likely to win the first paralympic gold medal ever to be won on South American soil!

Including 74-year old Elizabeth Kosmala, who debuted in 1972 (swimming bronze), won 9 shooting gold medals until 1988 and is now competing in her 12th straight Summer Paralympics :d

By the way - if anyone is interested in following the results then the IPC website is the best place for that, they have information about all the athletes and countries and it is much better than the official paralympic site!

If anyone can access Channel 4 website (the UK Paralympic TV broadcaster) their results service is as good as the IPC website as well.

A range of livestreams can be accessed on the IPC website, but they are geoblocked in some countries!

Nice public for the Swimming preliminaries.

 

Not a lot of people on Brazil vs Great Britain in Football 7-a-side but I suspect some people are arriving - Deodoro is very far and I think that's the only event there in Paralympics. Also the Rugby stadium is quite big for any Paralympic event, I hope to see more people in finals.

Sad, but the guy from Chile didn't start

    • It's hard to believe it was still in this calendar year      
    • In last year, we were were happy with Brignone's wins, and today we're excite that della Mea is in the top 10... It's hard to imagine a bigger fall... And Goggia should give up on the giant slalom and focus on the speed events – Vonn isn't wasting time on the giant slalom, but is training for downhill and SG. Goggia last one finished on the podium in the giant slalom in march 2018, and she has no any chance of winning an Olympic medal at the regular competition. It's a waste of time and energy to finish 8th or 9th and risk injury. And we have to accept that without Brignone, we have no chance of winning a medal in the giant slalom in Cortina, and that's it.
    • yeah, just like Anna Trocker earlier Today   I think this is the best way to blow them    they're not ready for the world cup stage yet, but we're so bad right now that our coaches are digging deep
    • Some surprises and fun results so far at this year's Worlds. Like a few minutes ago, when  Harrysson made the 1/8 with another very good performance. Now he plays Jonny Clayton, who this afternoon made a stellar performance in a tough battle with Zonneveld. I don't see an easy match for Clayton, even though on paper he would have wished such an opponent for a 1/8 before the tournament.   Also i'm delighted that my fav Gary Anderson seems to be in good form, though at his age, he is prone to sudden bad matches at any time.
