vinipereira 3,054 Posted September 4, 2021 #42 Share Posted September 4, 2021 6 hours ago, Dolby said: I am sorry, but these things should not happen. You can't come back half a day later and say sorry we made a mistake, you are not eligible for this competition or sorry, the WR throw that you made yesterday was a foul and our judges couldn't spot it in real time. All these things should be handled before competition. That's why the Paralympics still have a lot to evolve. Late decisions like the ones that happened at these Games and other subjective things (classification, for instance) give a lot of discredit to the whole movement.

intoronto 4,236 Posted September 4, 2021 #43 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Sadly due to covid 19 classification was hard to do. The IPC had a goal of having everyone classified before the games,but logistically it was impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted September 4, 2021 #44 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Now all that's left for Brazil are the marathon events and the bronze medal match in badminton. I know Vitor is the reigning World bronze medalist, and I had high hopes before the event, but somehow I think he had a much better chance of beating the guy from than the guy from . I have little to no hope of a medal in the final day, what is a shame because we have won more than one medal on every single day of the competition so far.

heywoodu 13,552 Posted September 4, 2021 #45 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Any idea yet what happened with the Brazilian F57 shot put athlete? Live stream only showed the top-3 athletes' best throws and nothing weird happened there, but since the mentioned rule (WPA 2.13.5) seems to have something to do with the removal of clothing, one would imagine maybe he tore off his short or something? https://www.paralympic.org/sites/default/files/2021-02/WPA Approved Amendments (January 2021).pdf If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Quasit 849 Posted September 4, 2021 #46 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I wonder why they've taken out events like 10,000m, triple jump and pentathlon in recent editions. Bring all of that back. Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One wonders how much of those 0.004 came from the guide pulling... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse, he gave up his last throw because he already won... and 11 hours later this happens. This is probably the most commented Paralympics-related thing in Brazil, people are outraged.

vinipereira 3,054 Posted September 4, 2021 #49 Share Posted September 4, 2021 And to think that a few days ago Brazil, happy with silver, didn't made an appeal in an event in which the chinese guide ran almost all the race ahead of the athlete. And now China takes away a gold from Brazil for unexplainable reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
