Via the IPC on the Asian Para Games

 

:LAO Laos’ Pia Laophakdee has stolen the show on day one (7 October) of the Para powerlifting at the Indonesia 2018 Asian Para Games, winning a gold medal in his first competitive event. Laophakdee pulled off a major shock to beat India’s Basha Farman to the men’s up to 49kg event, despite taking up the sport just six months ago.

 

:SRI swept the men's 200 m in track and field :yikes:

Just back from watching 4 sports.. I have to say it is more enjoyable than the Asian Games :evil:

 

Every athlete got applause no matter what position... Everyone stands up during any country's anthem (very rare in super-nationalistic Indonesia)..

And the most important less noise (personal preference).

 

Unfortunately since not that much people watching the Games, only a few entrance opened so you have to circle the venue a little bit to find the spectator area :wacko:

I find the fact that Pia of Laos only took up the sport 6 months ago hard to believe since there was a para power lifter by the name of Pia competing for Laos in the -49kg event at the Rio 2016 Paralympics! But maybe he has a brother?

Maybe 6 months after he adopted a surname? :p

 

In fact it is the same man... I don't know how they can be so random

And :TLS Timor Leste won a dramatic race to clinch their first gold.. Sadly I only managed to record the medal ceremony


It's so nice to see our Lusophone irmãos (brothers) doing well!

Timor Leste is the only nation not to have earned a medal at one of the events organized by the Olympic Council of Asia (even :BHU has 2 bronze medals -- Asian Marial Arts Games and Asian Martial Arts and Indoor Games -- and :MDV has one (Asian Beach Games). Finally :TLS has a continental medal now.

And if Wikipedia is to be trusted, :LAO and :OMA won their first medals ever at the Asian Para Games.
