Imagine what it would have been with Triathlon

Those were the safest changeovers ever

Matched that and only halfway through Swimming with athletics to come!

Dunlevy was born in Crawley and used to represent GB, so technically thats a 1-2-3-4.

Big day today - I predict 8 golds.

So the Fighter was winning 8-2 vs in the final when she mistimed a kick and accidentally kicked her opponent in the face, which means she would be disqualified if the fighter could not continue and the kick was deemed to be intentional. Clearly watching the replays it was not intentional as the kick hit the shoulder and then slipped up onto the head, and that's what the judges agreed. The controversy was that the fighter chose not to compete in the hope the fighter would be DQed, even though she was deemed fit to compete by the neutral medical doctor.

Also just noticed no in the C1-5 team Sprint : 2x Defending world champs. Mistake? https://www.paralympic.org/en/paris-2024-paralympics/results/para-cycling-track/open-c1-5-750m-team-sprint/qual000100--

We are 1/4 of the way there after 3 days, and many stonger events come later on

That rule makes no sense. If the doctor rules you fit you can't just pretend to be injured to win.

If that had gone the otherway that would have been the biggest farce ever.

Great result as Grinham reaches the archery semifinals. She's only 7 MONTHS PREGNANT.

The factoring on track cycling feels a bit off. How can 3rd and 4th both break the world records and 1st and 2nd don't. In C1 class, the depth isn't a strong so the factor system benefits them more. Feel unfair.

I agree, and these are just sports that could all be fit in one venue. You could probably fit netball in instead of a couple of sports, as the courts aren't that big.

You could probably fit, Judo, Weightlifting, Boxing, Badminton, Table Tennis all in a convention centre.

I hate to say it but there is no way we are beating China, second is definitely on though, I just don't know who would be the nearest competitors yet.

If you look at the team of Great Britain, except for Boccia, there are very few athletes who are extremely impaired. The best example is probably swimming, where the vast majority of the team competes in higher classification events. Britain is very strong in intellectual impairment classes, which is mainly due to strong programmes and systems to identify disability. I would say that the majority of the team's disabilities are either born, or developed unfortunately (car accident, military, horse paralysis), rather than being the consequence of improper access to healthcare, such as an amputation for a treatable disease. GB are arguably a stronger Paralympic nation than an olympic one, and that has always really been the case, but you can very validly make the case that people with disability have worse qualities of life compared to non Paralympic powerhouses, and that the country hasn't improved on disability rights since London 2012.

Finally

The pilots don't control the speed, they just guide the athlete.

Will be tough for gold, but at 0.5 gap isn't insurmountable

Schrager into Gold final!

First guaranteed medal, as Pickard and Twomey reach WD14 table tennis Semi finals
