  1. Athletics is always the easiest & cheapest sport for new nations to start a para program, so it will always be the most competitive. But certainly UKA seems a bit complacent when it comes to recruiting new talent compared to swimming or cycling for sure.
  2. Lots of good stats here. Paris 2024 Paralympics: Best stats as GB win medals in 18 out of 19 sports - BBC Sport
  3. Great Games for 49 Gold 44 Silver 31 Bronze Second overall. Very small number of disappointments, maybe one Games too many for a handful, but otherwise a great two weeks for us.
  4. So that's us done! 49 Gold 44 Silver 31 Bronze Second place in the traditional table. 124 Total medals Second place in the emergency, backup, in case of necessity medal table. Well done every single athlete, coach & helper, you have done us all proud.

  12. leave it till late to get their first medal - Oleg Cretul a judo bronze.
  13. I'm planning to fly to and buy a Porsche; figure it's only going to cost me about £20.

  15. Emma Wiggs gets het third Gold in the VL2
  16. Big argument between the two French riders, each blaming the other. Et maintenant...canoe finals.

  20. So only one actual original idea from 1976 & 24 people copying someone else? Sounds like 21st Century music right enough.
  21. We got a 4x100m relay that could bring up medal 100..... Good news.is that there is no baton, just a tap.... Silver medal behind have a bleeding guess... OK pretty sure we are on 100 medals now because we are in an active fencing final.
