PARALYMPICS 2021

[Felix125]

Thought I would start a thread.
Looking forward to another few weeks of sporting action and medals!

We're doing well in the pool this morning.

5 medals in swimming, 2 in cycling and 1 in powerlifting so far today

Another fencing medal - Men's epée team!

First athletics medal, bronze in the womens 100m T35

Super proud my stepdaughter just won 🥇 gold After winning a silver yesterday! Swimming- Tully Kearney

Huge congratulations to Tully. The whole family must be ecstatic for her.

I'd just got the hang of the swimming classifications, I'm going to have to learn the athletics ones now! Swimming does't go up as high as 35.

Another great day for GB, especially the cycling 🥇🥈🥉

China have shot massively ahead! I can't really remember from previous Paralympics, are they always this good? Or is it just that the sports this week have really suited them, and others might catch up a bit next week?

Since the Bejing Games, China has started to take the Paralympics and disability sports serious, and they have plenty of athletes to choose from. The commentators were saying that their athletes don't need to travel for international competitions as they can compete on the same level nationally.

The adverts are getting on my nerves though, especially the early morning ones.

China topped the table in Rio by quite some distance

Brilliant day for the triathlon - gold, silver & bronze for the medal haul

I bet Lauren Steadman could have thrown the bike in the river during the final transition

Thanks for the thread.

Hannah Cockroft didn't even break a sweat for that gold! Brilliant! And a fabulous silver for Kare Adenegan. Go Team GB, especially after the three triathlon medals 👏🏻

Triathlon yesterday and today was brilliant.

I am looking forward to the rugby final, come on GB!

The Rugby is great. GB 1 point ahead going into the last quarter.

GOLD!

That rugby was amazing!

Absolutely LOVED that wheelchair rugby final! So chuffed for the team. I was on the edge of my seat!!

Even tempted to try it as we have a local team. I imagine it would be a very good way to get your frustrations out 😂

Such an emotional speech by Ellie Robinson, well done on 5th place

She was amazing!

Yep was sat here in tears! She's such an inspiration.

A Team Gold for Natasha, Lee and Sophie.

Another gold for Lee too And a silver for Natasha,

His 13th in the Paralympics and Team GB have won every team gold since Dressage was introduced in 1996.

Super, Super success, but still pretty much ignored by the media.
