They let her start with this pillow. C'mon. If reallly this is all about being different and differently disabled in tolerant open world i don't want to hear anymore about this bulshit. Would Brazilian win if Pole had 1cm smaller pillow? Oh c'mon. This was the killer for me. 

Not at all. There are plenty possible various athlete in one disability group even they are similar. When you start in sitting events some of this things could help you (maybe not this pillow for polish athlete), but thanks to different equipment some athletes can have some advantage like more stable position (it is crucial in some serious categories of disabilities). But yeah it is stupid that thwy first let then use (not measure) and after we have a change of results day after (the same was on previpus EC or WC in athletics). I think rhey must treat delegations and supporters more serious.

A pillow? In disabled people sport? By how? For me this is sick. Sick sick sick. 

It's important. For some kind of disabilities this could be helpful to reach better results. Maybe seems stupid but its not.

Nice gold...but 16s advantage? I can't get used to such races. It's like it's not his category. For me differencies between athletes are too extreme here. Much bigger than in womans boxing. But here everyone is extatic..me...this is the reason i find it difficult to watch. 

We must believe for correct classification. He was too weak for S2 mostly, but seems to strong for S1. It's  not a rarely problem here during OG.  Plenty of this kind of issues. Sometimes we benefit sometines not.  For us it's  better he is reclassified.

84 athletes will represent  

 

The biggest names in the team are Natalia Partyka (6 golds, 2 silvers and 2 bronze medals!), Patryk Chojnowski (table tennis), Rafał Wilk (paracycling), Karolina Kucharczyk, Maciej Lepiato, Barbara Bieganowska-Zając (athletics), Joanna Mendak (swimming), Adrian Castro, Dariusz Pender (wheelchair fencing), Justyna Kozdryk (powerlifting) who are already multimedalists from few previous Games.

I am curious, it's  now the time when we will get less than 25 medals, so finally someone will find solution to improve the system of paralympic sport or we will try getting medals by non system organisation in our sport.

The story of gold for Botswana for me is absolutely incredible.

Too many easy finals for winners during this OG, I thought it will be more competetive. Congratulation  Denmark

From time to time. With more olympic system to LA 2028 I will be visiting more haha

GO SAN MARINO! eh....

Ah 4th place to Canada, Inlike this team, was cheering for medal;(

That's never how it works though. Positioning matters.

But should be in races without guiding.

Kayak Cross has potential, but what the f is the blocking part? WTF? In any other sport that would probably get you some sort of penalty

Blocking is the best part of this

Fotr me after this  accident should be neutralisation

Brawo Brazil!!!! Would love to see polish medal in judo some day.

Congrats Poland!

Thank you I was watching your team in rugby on stadium and meantime the session in fencing. All matches was crazy, 

Congratulation Canada for great match against Feance, and after the semifinal. It was nice to watch on the Stadium. I must admit that USA takiego bronze in the last second was emotional. Full audience, but still France after losing medal  cheering the team. That's  cool
