Summer Paralympic Games 2016 Official Thread

Pepo Puch solid today (2nd place) in Ib para-dressage. Austrian-born (but with some Croatian roots), Pepo is our Olympian from 2004 when he competed in eventing. Yeah, we had an eventer. Sadly, he had a riding accident in 2008...

 

 

Probably the worst part in all this is that absolutely no one here knows that he is competing at Paralympics. Even those "sports commentators" on national television didn't say anything when Austria marched during the Opening ceremony... Just horrible, I'm ashamed.
