We just won a gold
I don’t get what the disability of these swimmers is. I don’t see them missing any hands or legs??
>>144117758Gz, what in?
>>144117702Do they have different events for different disabilities?
GWAN ELLARD
let's see if women archers are as good with their feet as the men
>>144117770Yeah you're doing well lad
Tunisia is STRONGWe should mutilate more people into becoming para people
damn she's GOOD, CUTE and has CUTE FEET
>>144117778swimming for blind backstroke s12 100m
>>144117777S14 is IQ <75 or other mental problem
ELLARDDDDDDDDD
>Britain gets another swimming WR
NEW WRNEW WRNEW WRTwo WRs for GB in 15 minutes
>>144117844who ? pic ?>>144117777probably mental
>>144117788Much like weight and gender classes in the olympics, each event usually has different classes of disability ranging from severe to mild
>>144117835Two more golds for GB since you took that screenshot an hour ago :bicep_emoji:
>>144117788Some sports are for one disability only, like goalball or 5-a-side football for the blind.Others have categories for different disabilities.
>>144117904Womeme’s archery
>>144117777visual (S12) or intellectual (S14) disability
>>144117777Plenty of disabilities are invisible. There are dozens of categories for people who have all their limbs but have no feeling, or are very weak on one side of their body, or whatever. Plus you get blind ones, and cerebral palsy of course which has multiple categories too.Also, witnessed.
>>144118009
>>144118077Better pic
>russian goldEw
>>144118137Shame we didn't get gold in that
>Gold medal for the nation of NPANon PED Abusers? Noble Putin Attackers? Nazi-Pounding Alcoholics?
>>144118185No Putin Allowed
>>144118185They kept NPA off the medal table this time to avoid a repeat of the party ROCers situation from last time
Poppy Maskill is lovable, but you can tell she's retarded when they interview her. It's a shame, because it means she won't get to be on TV for longer.
SWIM BRITAIN!
>>144118257>Italibronzes>>144118250The S14 lad who won gold obviously didn't have a lot going on either.
>>144118250I actually think it goes in her favour for normies who tune in and think 'what's wrong with her'
>>144118250you could probably help by referring to her as 'disabled', seeing as how 'retarded' is considered hurtful. not yelling, just saying.
they aren't doing podium selfies this time around? bit sus.
>>144118250 What do you mean by retarded? Are you being hyperbolic because I thought they had a different competition for special needs people
Poojeeta lost :(>>144118402That was an ad for samsung, I don't think they're sponsoring this
>>144118414a few events like swimming have intellectual disability classes, used to be more until Spain ruined it for everyone
>>144118371This logic only applies to real life. Words like retard and nigger and cripple aren't as hurtful here (I.E. *intended* with as much malice as they are in real life)
alice is something else man
>>144118414I don't know what the exact definition of the S14 disability category is, but I am on 4chan so it's okay to say retarded.
>>144118371 I don’t like how frequently people here use “retarded” for these people either. I’m not a pozzed faggot or anything but I reserve my discrimination exclusively for race and gender.
>>144118414Swimming (S14) and athletics (T/F20) have intellectual disability classes
ALICEEEEEEEEEE
There was a tunisian who won gold for 10km walk yesterday, i was wondering why his medal didn't count and it turns out it was during the World Athletics U20 Championships
>>144118522 And gays. I forgot the gays.
GOLD (GOLD)ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOUR SOOOOOUL
>>144118446>>144118531 What is intellectual disability? Autism on steroids or something?
>>144118544We have another word for that here
>>144118402you can turn disabled people into slaves by South Korea laws. they aren't gonna sponsor the paralympics of all events.I wish I was making it uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNb-twWyEz8
>>144118538yeah they don't do paralympic deathmarch, that would probably legit kill someone
>>144118569some are spergs, some have brain damage or lack of oxygen when they were being born, some have genetic conditionspeople can be thick as fuck for a variety of reasons, as /sp/ consistently proves
>>144118569IQ below 75
https://www.sharksmottinghamdisabilityswimmingclub.co.uk/how-to-apply-for-classification/>Classification Group S14 >Swimmers with an intellectual impairment >There are three eligibility criteria which must be met:>An (sic) full scale IQ score of 75 or below>Evidence of significant limitations in adaptive behaviour>Evidence of age of onset before the age of 18>There are a number of conditions that do not meet the eligibility criteria
>>144118573I want to see a 40km deathwheelchair
Our Olympic swimmers are shit but Paralympic ones great.
>>144118643they already do wheelchair marathon which is slightly longer than that
>>144118628I checked the classification document and they have to do an IQ test and get under a certain score. An IQ of 75 sounds grim but it's higher than the average of many African countries.
>>144118667Very good, make it longer
>>144118573look at these guys and tell me they don't look like they have some kind of mental disability lol, some of them were even still doing lapsfacebook com/beINSPORTS/videos/2000590520396173>yeah they don't do paralympic deathmarch, that would probably legit kill someoneyeah for sure
>>144118569IQ tests are a meme, so I have tried to find another definition:https://www.paralympic.org/swimming/classification>S14 swimmers have an intellectual impairment, which typically leads to the athletes having difficulties with regards to pattern recognition, sequencing, and memory, or having a slower reaction time, which impact on sport performance in general.>Moreover, S14 swimmers show a higher number of strokes relative to their speed than able-bodied elite swimmers.
>amerisilvers
Clegg tearing up on the podium :)
>>144118713>pattern recognition, sequencing, and memoryHmm I wonder what IQ tests test for
>>144117872Andy Parsons needs to sack his agent
>>144118721Feels good to be good
>>144118250There but for the grace of God, go I
Are pregnant cripple just had a great win again in the archery
>>144118572You can legally pay them under minimum wage in the US.
>>144118783Andy Parsons? President of the IPC?
>>144118912yeah that is 100% stupid but at least they get paid
>>144118954baldy who did the funny OI AM DOING COMEDYYYY voice on mock the week
>>144117702she has no pelvis wtf
>>144118789you watching the goalball? gettin hype
>globosta is the only one broadcasting it>they can't even properly show and comment on the medals boardnow I know why they lost the leash on footy transmission rights LMAO
>>144118990I know. I have just always thought it funny that the president of the IPC is also called Andrew Parsons.
>>144119054Andy Parsons is on the last leg tonight (no idea if it's the shit comedian or the head of the IPC)
How does Boccia work?
>>144119090Closest ball to the jack (white ball) wins, then you get points for all your balls closer than the opponents closest ball.Same rules as petanque or lawn bowls really just different balls
i think petanque and lawn bowls are similar, just with thrown or rolled balls respectively
>>144119090What the brit posted plus the one who doesn't currently have a ball closest to the white ball gets to shoot, they have a 6 minutes or 6 balls (I think) limit
>>144119213Pétanque has both throwing and rolling
>>144119253Boules is just rolling isn't it?
>>144119363Which one, lad?
>>144119421>Boules carreesSquare balls? How do they roll?
>>144119421Soul
>>144119483boul
>>144119448If they're light enough they can sort of roll fairly randomly, like a dice
our taekwondo lad's a fuckin unit
>>144119421Which one has these balls?
>>144119547Pic?
>>144119566Pétanque.Also lol at the photo finish in swimming.
>>144119566>slip françaiskeklooks like pétanque to me although there could be others
>>144119619If you say 'boules' here people think of that, maybe pétanque is just the most popular form (after lawn bowls).
>>144119566Gonna guess Pentaque
had to go outside so i missed all the good stuff
>>144119686The worst feeling
>49 44C'est francoverfoolish decision to shoot a 7 desu
>>144119660By far the most popular, the other listed by anon are all unknown except Luonnaise/Provençale.Lawn bawls just doesn't exist here, it looks fun but not practical.
The grand palais is a fucking exceptional venue, well done Frenchies
YES more dwarf badminton
>>144119782I want to play it now
really impressed with the wheelchair rugby. those guys seem skilful in their max max machines
>>144119906You just need one friend and a set of boules :)
>>144119897We seem to be doing alri at it
>>144119957Not him but we played boules on holiday when I was a kid, we used to camp in Vendee a lot
>>144119908I've found it thoroughly uninteresting much like (regular) basketballJust get the ball and run (hmm) to the other side without anyone being able to stop you, score, they get the ball and do the same, you get the ball back, repeat
>>144119957>You just need one friend
There are 11 gold medals up for grabs at the Stade de France tonight, where the action is just about to get under way (all times BST):18:00 - women's shot put F37 final18:04 - men's club throw F32 final18:08 - men's javelin throw F57 final18:13 - women's 1500m T13 final18:25 - men's 100m T38 final (featuring GB's Thomas Young)18:43 - men's 400m T11 semi-finals18:59 - women's 400m T11 final19:11 - women's 100m T38 final (featuring GB's Sophie Hahn and Maddie Down)19:34 - men's long jump T63 final19:39 - men's 5,000m T54 final (featuring GB's David Weir)20:07 - men's 100m T12 final (featuring GB's Zach Shaw)20:19 - women's 400m T47 final20:50 - women's 200m T36 round one
>>144120012It all comes down to those few moments where you can turn it over or make a steal. Its all about holding your 'serve' and breaking the opponents serve when they fuck up, there's a few pressure moments in every game when the match is decided
fucking muslim
my throwing-heavy-things wife
Pretty good crowd at t&f
>>144120007Typical camping game lol, before or after the barbecue. The only time I played ping pong was in camping too.
>>144120479We had some ping pong in school, badminton too
Why is women's wheelchair basketball the best sport?
>>144120584We had football if you were a boy and hockey if you were a girl, and if you even suggested playing anything else the p.e. teacher would call you a poofter
>>144120626We played a bit of ping pong at school but I was shit at every sport especially ping pong. It was mostly rugby at my school, the only football was a lunch break kick around.
CAM ON PHOEBE
>>144120626It was soccer, flag football and basketball at my school; we were not good at any of these things. I personally just hoped that handball or badminton ran as an intramural and fucked off to do math contests if there wasn't.
That yank with CP just ran 100m quicker than. The olympic women's final kek
>retard olympics lol
>>144121044It's gotta be bait at this point
>>144121044Are you the same poster or do we have to say for the 70th time that it's not the special olympics.
>>144120899
its fun how when you interview the para athletes they have 1000x more personality than the olympics lotexcept for Poppy of course but not her fault
>>144121098I bet he blacks well
Oh shit I didn't notice Bong vs Frog wheelchair rugby was on
Fucking hate tom kerridge
THAT IS A >______< 4TH ANON
Jodie is out, shame.
>>144121192Mayhugh got to be feeling pretty hard done by
>>144120899Makes it hard to take women's sports seriously desu
Love how every interview with our paralympians who don't win seems to be they feel disappointed and worried they've let people down.Such a contrast to our "I'm happy and healthy" olympian chokers
doing a mexican wave at a wheelchair competition seems cheeky lol
What happened in the 100m? Should we have won?
Any cute 'tards I've missed so far?
>>144121098Peacock's 100M personal best is something like ten times closer to the women's 100M record than the women's is to the men's. I reckon with how much more possible it's becoming to make it a full time career we'll eventually see some of the men at the Paralympics outperform able bodied women in some events
>>144121434The highest partially sighted (T13) and arm impairment men's classifications both have 100m WRs lower than able-bodied women
frogs getting battered at the murderball
Gay here on the stag do, we've all contracted monkeypox
>>144121500We're more of a dwarf badminton nation anyway. Imagine if we cared about wheelchair rugby
>>144121515Kek, stop pretending to be me cunt
Timothee ADOLPH about to run lads HH
>>144121515excuse me it's mpox, monkeypox is offensive to homosimians
>>144117835>Tunisia is STRONG>2 goldsNice. Keep proving that Untied States of Arse are inferior to you. And Spain. And Israel. And Ukraine.
where's that greek faggot, I want to make him watch the murderball so he can listen to them say the names of all the 0.5s

tai is genuinely perfect>>144121528kek
Must be hard to catch a ball when you don't have arms
>Tai was born with bilateral talipes (clubfoot), and before the age of 12 she had undergone 14 corrective operations to alleviate her condition, sometimes requiring a wheelchair for long periods of time during recovery.[2] She studied neuroscience in London.>In January 2022, her right leg was amputated below the knee after worsening pain in her right foot.[3]go through all that shit and they end up lopping one off anyway, nightmare

GB vs GB bronze medal match in the archery, shame one didn't get into the final.
>>144121803Fair play to that big French black guy
>Argentina got a goldFfs Brazil you were supposed to stop this
>>144121803and he's a 1.5, drives home how mangled some of these lads are
>>144121854Ahhh didn't watch the semis but saw both quarters. Gutted
>me nig stuWhat a name
>>1441219040.5 is very nearly no arm control at all
>got a fourth monitor and would watch even more at once but I don't have room on my desk
Lahja Ishitile may have gotten her name from the Finnish name "Lahja". Finnish names are common in Namibia because there used to be Lutheran missionaries there (and Martti Ahtisaari).
>>144122021Why are women 0.5 kek
>>144121904He doesn't have legs either fucking hell, poor bastard.
>>144122021cool hair bart
>>144122081Women are effectively 0.5 cheaper as they raise the team's point limit by 0.5.
GO SOPHIE!!!
absolute stunners in the women's racing right now
GWAN SOPHIE

>>144122163Well except this one I suppose

>>144122021Johnny Test? My condolences to the Test family.
Fucking hell she was miles ahead
did hahn make a vow to never, ever smile?goncharova is absolutely beautiful
Hahn seems to have dropped off
O_______O
>>144122189Female sprinters have incredible bodies
>>144120012I think wheelchair basketball is much better than wheelchair rugby. People just hype up wheelchair rugby because it’s called murderball. The chairs are cool, but that’s true of most of these events.
AHHHHH
>>144122289Wheelchair rugby is just constant back and forth, once they get through they're free to score a try which is a bit shit, maybe they should have more players per side.
>>144120600I have answered this numerous times. It’s the total absence of physicality. Why do you keep trying to force this meme, as though women’s wheelchair basketball isn’t genuinely based?
>>144121716Thank god the pregnant archer got a medal.
>>144122305IS THAT A NEW DISABILITY ANON???
>>144122348No idea why I quted that post lol
>>144122381WE DO LOVE SOPHIE!!
>>144122305He entered the Matrix ?
>>144122078I saw her yesterday and thought her name was hilarious. She’s called Ishitile, and she is visually impaired, so she probably eyes things shittily. It’s nominative determinism, sort of.
Are we rooting for the fat smug roach or the fat hijabi in this final lads?
Taekwondo Referee #13 is very well endowed.
Just got in lads what have I missed today?
Brazil are catching us up, this lad got a gold.
>>144122641bloody hell what sport can he even play?
>>144122656Swimming
This swiss guy on channel 4 has the creepiest gay voice i've ever heard
>>144122685hard to imagine the state of his opponents if he got the gold
THAT'S AN ORDER ANON!
No on watching murderball? Great game France v GB
AWOOOOO TIME!!!
Turkey won the women's archery
is cbc not showing archery, don't see it listed
>>144122937It's over, just the ceremony now
>>144122835That girl was a scoring machine all day long, well deserved gold.
>>144121677Imagine getting smoked by someone who made themselves more disabled prior to competing
Beat the frogs by 1 point

>>144123288lad's still ripped though fair play to him
>>144123293You'll have to marry her quickly then
>>144123293Depends what kind. There's progressive and recurring.
>>144123306i remember, i was there :)
>phryge has a prosthetic legcute
How did our lass do in the taekwondo?
Why do all the white referre for the taekwondo, speak Korean?Shouldn't they speak English at te olympics?
>>144123262Is Weird pronounced like "weird" but without the "d"?
all these lads have death grip
>>144123340i only noticed today that the gifts they give to the athletes are also bronze, silver and gold
impressed with the crowds, is this peak french autism again, or have prior paraolympics had similar crowds?
>>144123365that's correct
>>144123365wee-uh
>>144123352Didn't make the finals.
>>144123407>>144123409k, thx _b
>>144123337well she already talks somewhat weirdly and is a bit stiff when turning her head around but she is just 19 so still early to tell
>>144123416??
>>144123288He was coming up the rear at one point and I was very happy, but in the end he finished third which isn’t funny at all.
>>144123385London had the best crowds. Brazil had a bit less than this, I think. Tokyo obviously had none in case anyone coofed on the athletes. So these Paralympics probably have the second-best crowds ever.
I love how well Uzbekistan are doing, must feel great to be a literal who country doing well in sports and representing your nation.
Actually I've just put taekwondo on, I think its running late or something its Mexico v Uzbekistan which was mean to be half an hour ago.Uzbek fans singing songs opposite the camera, very comfy.
>CNBC interrupting The Star Spangled Banner for an interviewWhy is this allowed?
>>144123541I’ve always been fascinated with Uzbekistan. It just seems like such an interesting place, and yet it never features in the news or anything. So I am delighted with their success here, even though their national anthem is crap and I think they might torture quite a lot of people.
>>144117702being black isnt a disability
>>144123574I met an Uzbek milf once, she was gorgeous.
>>144123573national anthems are a far right dog whistle
>>144123594There was a sultry dressing room attendant in the shops the other day from some ex soviet country. Awkward place to get a semi.
>>144123596Are you the same tranny posting leftypol shite in /brit/lympics?
>>144123458Oh my bad. I didn't see it in the list when I looked.
>>144123741
First time I cheered for a Turk.
The Uzbek was making faults so fast I didn't have time to see them. He almost lost on a technicality.
>>144123651no i'm only messing
>>144123355I assume it's just terminology, like gamjeong for penalty.No different to using en garde in french in fencing
>>144117788>An American actually asking about the Paralympics and how it works, instead of disregarding it as a 'participation sport for retards'.You guys should be preparing. I really hope your coverage is better. One of the reasons people cared about Beijing was to see the 'ones to watch' for the home games.Is NBC actually doing anything?
I WILL MARRY TSUJI SAE
>>144123787another gold for them just now in a 100mlosing the whole race and then dipped to beat the yank by this much
Why are Uzbeks so good at parataekwondo?Do they like have like a national obligation to learn taekwondo once they lose an arm?Why are all the white shirt referee so large breasted?
>>144123768It's probably just people's ignorance. It is not uncommon e.g. to confuse cerebral palsy with intellectual disability or have other misconceptions and confusions about differences between intellectual and physical disabilities.
>>144123768It was the latter probably. The episode calls it the Special Olympics even though it also allows Paralympians (Jimmy) to compete.
>>144118248QRD?
>>144123355>>144123837And Japanese in judo.
The single 5 minute round in para taekwondo works way better than the 3x2 shit in the olympics
Let me fix boccia : ONE MINUTE TO PLAY YOUR FUCKING BALL
>>144123870why are you lecturing some nobody about something they couldn't possibly affect or influence
>>144123912They made russia compete as Russian Olympic Comittee/Russian Paralympic Committee for a couple of games after the sochi doping scandal, but it didn't work as it was still on the medal table and came like 3rd in rio at the paralympics.The party ROCers thing was a meme on here
we did it fernando yara da silvasisters, we beat the evil americans
CAM ON GB TAEKWONDO
>>144123912Your tawkondoist girl is pretty.
and of course the girl with less of her arm missing wins, classifications should be according to length of limb
>>144117788yeah where they split them in most sports they put a code afterwards. These are for athletics for example.
uhm apparently our opoponent was venezuelan, but rest assured they are evil too
>>144124034you with think with all the veterans they have from wars they lost and how much they thank them they would support them being para-Olympians
Think we just killed the Uzbek girl
>>144124099She got kicked in the throat. I think
>>144124130What matter is whether it was intentional or not
you know, across all those para association members they bring to give the medals, I don't think a single one has been disabled so far
Refball incoming
>>144124143Its pretty hard to aim corectly at the face. But that would be a great mma move.Are they allowed?
>>144124186Yeah it sounds like it
>>144117788yes and americans are always finding loopholes to change classification categories like this fraud in tokyo
>>144124186Yeah refball for sure
>>144124218WE FUCKING DID ITWE WON
what happened to her where did all go wrong ?
Thank fuck for that. Would have been a farce if that was a DQ.
>>144124186Scratch thatGOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLD FOR GREAT BRITAIN
>>144124213Intentional headkicks are fine in regular taekwondo, but not para taekwondo.What happened here was it was judged unintentional so she just got a penalty not a DQ
I wonder if the Uzbek was overplaying it to try and get a red out of it, seems very suspicious when the doctor said she's fine.
>>144124143So she got a yellow card but still won.What a fun sport.Imagine how much that kick must have hurt.Are people booing underthe loud music?
>>144124247Remember the shitty karate at Tokyo where the guy who KO'd someone got immediately DQ'd
>>144124276It was an unintentional foul so a yellow, she only won because the Uzbek woman refused to continue.
>>144124275Feels likely to me, if the doctor says it's ok. Simulation like a brazilian footballer
COME ON MATT
YAYMY
>>144124276Unintentional headkick means a foul (1 point to opponent) but the Uzbek refused to continue cighting so she then won immediately
>>144118257Why are our Paralympic swimmers so much more dominant than our Olympian swimmers? Do we just treat our disabled citizens better than other countries?
>>144124275That was exactly what was happening. She was getting beat badly and trying to play the ref/judges. Fair play to her, worth a try, well done the refs/judges
>we're on 9 golds and Brazil are on 8They're coming for us lads>>144124323They get plenty of funding, I just don't think we have the talent.
>>144124322I thought kicking the head was one of the major objectives of this sport...
>>144124249>intentional headkicks are fine in regular taekwondo, but not para taekwondoWtf? I tought they only removed the fist based pts.Is this why we see a lot more spinkicks in para than regular? Because it's the only way to get more pts.
>>144124323We actually fund our paralympians the same way we fund olympians via lottery money, so they can be full time. Most countries the paralympians are getting fuck all.
>>144124275When the stretcher came out, she was in too deep and just had to keep going with it.
>>144124356they have no full arms to be able to block kicks which is also a big part of the sport
>>144124362Probably but in regular taekwondo they just do foot fencing anyway
>>144124323Surprises me that the aussies especially haven't featured in the paraswimming much. They usually do well in the paras overall don't they?

World record long jump?
how they break all the world records?
HEERENVEEN MENTIONED HEERENVEEN MENTIONED
>>144124473Improved prosthetic tech perhaps
>>144124473This track is very fast
>>144124492I don't think the track moves
Taekwondo looks sweaty
>>144124473I believe it's paralympic world record in this specific disability categorySo that was the one legged long jump world record, then you have the 0 legged long jump world record, the one armed long jump world record, the blind long jump world record, the cerebral palsy world record, etcAlso why there's a billion medals for the paralympics
>>144124424>ukrilvernope that doesn't work>silvkraineno that doesn't work either Shame really because they're normally a paralympic powerhouse but like, it's obviously because they're literally at war and the entirety of the national resource and effort is going to fighting thatJust one more reason to be sad about the war I guess
>>144124520Still plenty of time for them to get golds
>>144120600>No Black women in USA wheelchair basketball Honestly shocked, do they not know it exists?
MRS EMMANUELLE ASSMAN
>>144124559Do black women even play regular basketball?
>>144124519sure but in this paralympics they break lots of records in their categories a wr shouldnt be this easy
GOLD FOR ENGLAND'S BRAVE MATT BUSH
>>144124600The talent pool for one legged long jumpers must be very small, plus yeah massive advances in technology
the chinese girl cute whats her disability
Bogged milf in the audience, today has been a great day for milfs.
>>144121574Did the CDC really change the name of 'Monkeypox' to 'Mpox', because silly bitches were offended?
>>144124633Plus a generation of athletes coming through who've actually had training facilities approaching professional since they were younger
>>144124649Girl on the right looks a bit like my ex here, spooky.>>144124662Yes because apparently when people hear the word 'monkey' they immediately think of Africans
>>144124600The level has historically been lower due to lack of money etc so it's easy to break WRs if some funding comes in to let people train full time.
so we can all agree thats its gonna happen again right? even though there are 600 medals to be won
cute
Is channel 4 behind?
>>144124684>girls on the right look like my exIt is!you should call Salaberry Wellington and tell her how much you miss her.
>>144121820It's like the 'Footless Jo's YouTube channel. IIRC she badly fractured her foot in a horse riding accident and it just wouldn't heel correctly. After numerous failed surgeries she just couldn't live in chronic pain, so she opted for a voluntary amputation.

THE MIGHTY BOOOOOSH
>chinese runner doesn't get starting blockshuh?
>>144124970Might have ankle mobility issues
>>144124981DOESN'T NEED ANY clearlyI'm surprised the fat BR got second
>>144124852Babies have very sensitive tympans, that's why they always cry on airplanes, the air pressure is painful to them and so is loudnoise. They're basically dogs.
>>144124707none of our athletes lost yetand no, it won't happen
imagine having a body that looks like a regular t&f athlete like lovell and nearly losing to that brazilian girl
>>144125009there had been babies in stadiums and public events since the dawn of time none of them died because it didnt have the autist headphones on which retarded millenials started using around 2020 because they saw some insta post or some shit
>>144125011Mongolia has a gold and a silver
>>144125105Basically finnish medals those

Stade de France looks very full today
>>144125171>>144125175There's no way she's anywhere near as disabled as the others
>>144125199>She was born with severe jaundice, cerebral palsy and 80-90% hearing loss. She has two uncommon types of cerebral palsy: athetoid and ataxia. She has cochlear implants in both ears
>>144125171And the obliterates the competition and finishes with a light jog of courseshe is worthy of being my wife
Libby Clegg spoiled a race there and the other guy looked livid kek
>ShawHow is someone from Grimsby so fucking attractive?
>>144125213they've all got cerebal palsy but she's out there sprinting while the others are trying to drag themselves forward
>>144125199yeah probably some cooking involved like that british girl in tokyo or nick mayhugh there is no way this girls is t36
french basketball rigging
>>144125253She had her weetabix this morning and the others didn't, simple as.
>>144125213there are also other classifications for cerebral palsy hers is obviously not severe enough phenotype always trumps genotype,, enough with treating some diagnosis from when someone was 3 years old as gods verdict
>>144117702both those people in the picture are 3/5ths of a person
>>144125332They get classified based on function regularly, people sometimes change class if their disability gets worse or improves.
>>144123899That just seems like a mix of the first, too. Curious, what would Jimmy's classification be, does he have 'palsy or something?I could see Timmy in Boccia, if he could give instructions that weren't just his name.
GET IN THE VANON
>>144125371lets be honest people can only get worse with these kinds of conditions beyond puberty its just the paralympic committee recognising there was cheating involved and not wanting to call it cheating
The bell is great, is it a staple at track events or just for paris?
Why did two people get bronze in the men's +80kg taekwondo? I don't understand.
>>144123894Must be annoying to have CP, your brain is all there, it's just your muscles that are rigid. Every time I see them I just think of the poor sod that had it in the medieval era. But, I guess there's still countries now that still treat them as though they're stupid.
>>144123768I think it's just retarded americans plus 4chan edgy plus NBC having such shit coverage (Tokyo got highlights only on a cable channel) that 99% of yanks genuinely have never seen a para sport before.This games is the first where NBC is doing live coverage and it's still almost entirely on cable not free-tv.
>>144125474did they sign him from bbc?
>>144125504It's a Paris thing, they're having all the olympic and paralympic athletics winners ring it, and then it's going in the refurbished Notre Dame
>>144125595Kino
>>144123985>Surprised considering this is a board that uses 'we' with regards to sporting achievements of other people >>144124001Oh. So it was still 'technical Russia', but without the name. When it was back then did they still just use the IOC anthem, so the only difference is no marked results on the official table?
>>144125516They don't do a 3rd place playoff so both losing SFs get a bronze
Just wheelchair basketball and badminton on now and medal ceremonies in other things.
>>144125561ADE WORKS FOR EVERYANON!
>>144125612It stilled used the IOC/IPC anthems IIRC.Another change this time is the IPC has not allowed a load of russians to compete if they're too closely linked to the Russian state. So there's only 80 russians and 8 belorussians vs like 200 russians at Rio/Tokyo.
>>144125688Don't they have to say they're against the war if they want to compete?
>>144125707I think so? It's definite that people speaking to support the invasion of Ukraine all got banned.I suspect most of the NPA athletes no longer live in Russia.
The Last Leg is on featuring head of the IPC Andrew Parsons
>>144125707>no politics and sports btw
>>144125733>Those competing under the NPA banner have been subject to background checks by the International Paralympic Committee to ensure they have not endorsed the war, nor that they have any military links.I slightly misunderstood it
>>144125755Are they going to ask him why there's a 50 year old bloke competing in one of the women's races?
>>144125825You what
>>144125825Is there?
>>144125863>>144125872
>>144125890i’d wear the butterfly blindfold
>>144125899I thought they'd banned trannies from everything now
>>144125899What's his disability?
>>144125989IPC are a separate organisation and haven't ruled on it at all. >>144125997Stargadt disease, competing in T12 IIRC
>>144124323We win all the medals the Americans don't want to win. I have been thinking that this must have been how the Olympics looked with the boycotts in 1980 and 1984.>>144124782>she badly fractured her foot> it just wouldn't heel correctly.>heelCARLOS!
Just seen brock Whistons interview after winning silver yesterday. Absolutely devasted, floods of tears. Very emotional but it's like yes, you should be upset you didn't win, none of this 'happy to be here' that the olympians were giving out
Helen Skeltman looks BOGGED now
Medal table after today with those with 2 or more golds
>>144126240Skelton? I used to proper fancy her, no idea what she's like now.
>>144126253That's the one, she's on the last leg now
>>144126252>Bronzil
>>144126252France are doing very shit as the hosts
>>144126252Is NPA all russians?
>>144126273Yeah fucking hell see what you mean, wish women would leave their fucking faces alone. If you want to age better then use sun cream and stop drinking so much.
>>144126315There are people from Belarus too
>>144126315Mostly, but some belorussians too
>>144126329Surgury just looks shit when overdone. Simon Cowell is bogged out and like viewing a skinwalker now.
Paralympian superpower Ukraine at this moment.
>>144126329erm are you trying to police women's bodies?
>double mixed dwarf badmintonI'm sorry but this is amusing
>>144126404Yes
>>144126415It's better than wheelchair badminton desu.
>>144126460It's great, but it's also funny
Genuinely baffled at a Brazillian called Andrew Parsons and not Andreao de santes silva or something.
MR PARSONS!
>>144126484Apparently his parents are Scottish. Which makes his accent kind of weird
>>144126541Why would you immigrate to Brazil?

>>144123985I wasn't, but I guess it's hard to read tone in writing.
>>144126598I guess better weather than Scotland too.Just you don't get much immigration from the UK to South America, most of our emigrants go to the US or Europe, especially boomers retiring in Spain.
Women's wheelchair basketball players have incredible bodies.
>KraJEWski
>>144126630Sick to bastard death of you going on about women's wheelchair basketball
>>144126605Big arsed hunks too desu
why is this club and all of its fans so petty and unabashedly unscrupulous
>>144126653Explain for someone who doesn't watch divegrass
>>144126653Who and what is this
>>144126556I imagine the kind of guy who goes onto be the head of a major athletics organisation probably comes from a pretty upper class family. So it's not like they emigrated to just Brazil, more like the upper crust of Brazil
>>144126647
>>144126648Go back to your monkeypox sesh

>>144126737I'd love a northern gf desu
>>144124684>Seeing the word 'Monkey' makes people think of the African continent Truly, whose the real racist here?
>>144126675its patinaiko as a multisport org (here its basketball department) trying to claim the silver medal in the paralympics as a panathinaikos success, this girl isnt even a pro athlete, none of the big greek clubs have paralympic departments or teams , this girl has never set foot out of her village tyrnavos and her only connection to papanaikos is that her father who was a famous greek actor, used to play a character in a tv show where another character the old rich lady character was a panathinaikos basketball hooligan
>>144126675Panathinaikos are one of the top sporting clubs in Greece. Their football team is one of the top two or three in the country, but the club also does other sports and that's what this woman's connection to them is.
WARNING: For those who are unaware ALL the 11 triathlon races are expected for tomorrow. Initially it was supposed to have 7 tomorrow and 4 on Monday, but these ones were moved with the others for tomorrow.
Parasurfing would be shit, because surfing is a completely shit spectator sport
'jeets chanting some sort of 'jeet song? very nice

>>144126848t. expat vazelopoulosdistorting the truth again, there is no such thing as a paralympics department in any greek club this woman trains in tyrnavos hundreds of miles away from athens
ah nevermind it's probably one of the other courts
>>144126854>first one starts at 7:15, latest one at 8:35How long do they go on for? .

damn 'jeets suck
I thought paralympics weren't going to be as lit but seriously I can't stop watching all these people just give a shit about their disabilities and put on a show. These lads and lasses competing is what sports and humanity is all about.
>>144126653>Para GB's icon is a forward facing lion >Ireland's is, of course, the shamrock>Netherlands is a tulip with a Colgate sign>Greek's is just their flagVery boring, desu. Couldn't be a Corinthian helmet or something? Come on, you're where that shit started!
>>144127323The paralympics are always great and I really wish more than just Brits and maybe the hosts cared about it
>>144127359Team GB and Paralympics GB have separate logos too, I wonder why one is a lion facing left and one forward
>>144127254That's still going?
Since the thread goes quiet overnight let's leave it and bake a new tomorrow rather than now
>>144127465More concerned with both not being 'Team GB', or the Olympics, 'Olympics GB'.Regarding the icons, I don't know. Maybe the graphic designer wanted more cash. >More than one logo design more trademark royaltiesI, too, would like to know the reason.
