Prediction Contests Are Just-For-Fun Games "There are things that are uncertain for us, things more or less probable, and we seek to compensate for the impossibility of knowing them by determining their different degrees of likelihood. So it was that we owe to the weakness of the human mind one of the most delicate and ingenious of mathematical theories, the science of chance or probability."

Number or perfect predictions throughout the contest will be compared for the involved contestants. If they are still tied, number of correct Gold Medal Winners will be compared, then number of Silver Medal Winners and at the end number of Bronze Medal Winners. If players are still tied, answer on TB question will be taken into consideration. Contestant with closer answer on the question wins the Tie-Break. Example Contestant 1: 6x10, 12x4, 10x3, 7x2 Contestant 2: 6x10, 12x4, 8x3, 8x2 Contestant 1 will be placed ahead of Contestant 2. Contestant with most points wins the competition.

For some sports like Rowing, Triathlon, Table Tennis and Wheelchair Tennis indidivual federations have posted entry lists, but the IPC is officially useless at entry lists - plus everything has been mucked up because of the Russian ban so over 280 reallocations have been completed!

yes, IPC will stream lots of live sport on Dailymotion

Channel 4 Paralympic Games trailer:

Sad to hear that only 12% of tickets have been sold for the 2016 Paralympics, hopefully sales will pick up in the coming days but with the financical concerns and potentially empty stadiums the Paralympic games may struggle. However, Brazil are very strong at Paralympic sport - the widespread success of Brazilian para-athletes should create a good atmosphere and a strong Brazilian performance could help to save the games

The 2019 African Games will be held in..... EQUATORIAL GUINEA

At the moment it is still Russia - but with the President of the EOC in jail, the IOC refusing to acknowledge the European Games if it is held in Russia, no clear vision for the games, a new rival European Sports championships and the Russian doping crisis it is unlikely that the European Games will go ahead without a significant change in circumstances.

Boccia entry lists available here: http://www.bisfed.com/rio-2016-entry-lists/ Quota changes: 1 invitational quota was awarded to Norway in BC1 Hungary rejected their BC4 Pairs quota, this was reallocated to Portugal.

Team GB with 16 4th place finishes is equally as impressive and shows growing strength and depth, exciting times for British sport and I hope this time grassroot levels also capitalise on a new wave of sports enthusiasm.

Now all you need is Copenhagen 2028 and £350 million of national funding into elite sports every 4 years!!

Today is the day I fear we will fall behind the London 2012 medal haul - 6 medals today would take us level! Very unexpectedly strong start in Track cycling last night, a positive sign.

Amazing gold for GB in Diving. INCREDIBLE!!

Good prediction, but 6 4th place finishes over the first 3 days in Men's 400 IM, Women's 400 IM, rugby, gymnastics, fencing, 200 freestyle is a little worrying, but we are one medal up on London 2012!

Myanmar on fire in the archery!

Russia banned from 2016 Paralympics over state sponsored doping in para sport

Serbia just capsized in Men's pair

Mine too! But it is a fight between Kiribati and Tonga for best flag bearer!

Just worked out that Germany thrashed Brazil at the World Cup in 2014, maybe the Brazilian fans still hold a grudge after being humiliated 2 years ago. I wonder if Germany will be booed in the athletes parade?

The other matches today should have bigger crowds because Brazil are playing in one of them and the rest are outside Rio, so this will be many peoples only chances to watch the Olympics

Impressed by the graphics, so glad the diagonal flags have gone!
