100m Free should at least have a good amount of the universality swimmers, so hopefully it won't be comical (like the women's 200m IM in Tokyo).

I think you are referring to the women’s 200 meters butterfly where 16 swimmers swam in the heats and all of them qualified for the semifinals

Kimberly Garcia won the women's 20km Race Walk with a WR time of 1:12:26. In fact, 12 athletes did better than the previous world record...

 

Except that the was a mistake in the course and they didn't actually walk for 20km  They'll correct for the men's race, which was postponed by 1 hour.

No wonder the times looked strangely fast when I checked yesterday. And I was under the impression the race hadn’t finished yet when I looked up the results yesterday.

Yea this results system is horrible. Worst PAG results system from 2011 onward

Same results system as that used for this year’s Central American and Caribbean Games. I was hoping for something better 

Let’s hope they don’t take down the results section two days after the Para Games end

They’re just as good at covering up their drug use as they are at covering up their nuclear weapons programme.

In the men’s canoe slalom semifinal, the top eight athletes, limited to one athlete per NOC, advanced to the final. This resulted in the absurd situation where the third place finisher from Japan didn’t advance because his compatriot finished top of the semifinal and a Korean who DNFed made the final as the last of the eight competitors.
