Surely the main change is that the top nations can now qualify 8 athletes instead of 4, will be tough but some nations may now have 3 or 4 athletes per gender instead of 2

After China winning their Curling semifinal and Croatia winning Snowboard bronze a new record has been set of 26 nations winning medals at a winter Paralympic Games!

I'm really sorry! For all these years I genuinely thought you were from Hungary @Vojthas but you never know, a nationality transfer could be on the cards one day!

Why not try a gentle reminder to: @thepharoah @Vojthas Either of you could be the historic 42nd competitor, breaking the record of 41 nations in a single contest?

Great to see the number of medal winning nations topping Sochi already! The record of 25 could be under threat as Sweden, China, Poland, Kazakhstan and Czech Republic all have good chances of a medal.

Great Britain The British jury this year opted for their gut choice as the first song nominated in the selection process has been chosen to represent Great Britain. Rae Morris, a 25 year old singer and pianist from Blackpool released the single Someone Out There in February 2018 and the selection panel first discovered her potential on an afternoon TV talk show a few weeks ago, triggering a rapid chain of events that will see Rae representing Great Britain in Brazil. The song is said to be about a fan who sent her a mix of hand made, creative gifts whilst she was in a recording session, reminding her that 'Someone Out There' really is always thinking of you. Rae Morris - Someone Out There Lyrics Someone out there loves you Someone out there is lonely too They may not know it, they may be trying to tell you And you may not know till you pass on the street Your heads turn, your eyes lock and you feel complete Someone out there loves you When the world's got you down and there's no end in sight Do you give up? Keep your eyes shut? When the days are drawn out Feels like nothing is going your way Do you give up? Keep your eyes shut? You can rest assured you're not the only one Someone out there loves you Someone out there is lonely too They may not know it, they may be trying to tell you And you may not know till you pass on the street Your heads turn, your eyes lock and you feel complete Someone out there loves you When the pages don't turn and the words are all blurred Don't you give up, don't you give up When you reach out a hand and courageously ask me to dance But the music stops, keep your head up You can rest assured you're not the only one Someone out there loves you Someone out there is lonely too They may not know it, they may be trying to tell you And you may not know till you pass on the street Your heads turn, your eyes lock and you feel complete Someone out there loves you Someone somewhere out there loves you You can rest assured you're not the only one You can rest assured you're not the only one You can rest assured you're not the only one You can rest assured you're not the only one

Silver and bronze for GB is a very good result, need to hope for a slip up from Farkasova in the technical events for a gold in visually impaired Skiing!! Would be great if they could hit their medal target of 7 as this would increase the funding for our fantastic Paralympic winter athletes.

Never going to happen! Will be mainly a battle between Ukraine, Neutral Paralympic Athletes (Russia), United States and Germany!

It was inside the games and some individual national federation press releases. Most is pretty good quality but some of the alpine skiing and snowboarding events may not be proposed for 2022 they may be discussed for 2026

I’d agree. Same as the sprint event, don’t really see how the schedule can fit hat many more events. In sliding I expect women’s doubles luge and the bobsleigh/skeleton team event to be added as they could be squeezed into the schedule when you consider the number of training runs needed for extra events.

New Events Proposed by Sport Federations for Beijing 2022: (Some are yet to be finally confirmed but are likely to be nominated or at least discussed with an eye on future editions) Alpine Skiing: Individual Parallel Slalom Telemark Parallel Sprint Telemark Team Parallel Sprint Biathlon: Single Mixed Relay Bobsleigh/Skeleton: Mixed Team Event Curling: No new event but increasing mixed doubles from 8 teams to 16 teams Figure Skating: Synchronised Skating Freestyle Skiing: Big Air Mixed Team Aerials Luge: Women's Doubles Men's Sprint Women's Sprint Men's Doubles Sprint Men's Natural Track Women's Natural Track Nordic Combined: Women's Event Short Track Speed Skating: Team Event Snowboarding: Snowboard Cross Team Event Parallel Slalom Mixed Team Parallel Event Ski Jumping; Mixed Team Event

Wow I never knew GB was that efficient at getting 12 points, and only 2 golds behind the mighty Ireland!!
