Good on them!!

It is just a shame that tvnz hasn't broadcast the same amount of coverage as the regular games.
Anything to get Coronation St OFF the air!

What stroke does a swimmer with no arms do?
A breast sroke? (or should that be "breasts"...)

Those para games are pretty unfair though. You watch a person missing a foot compete with someone missing their whole leg

You would have to get there early for the disabled parking spaces out front of the stadium.

I had no idea there was a face plant event and that NZ would have a gold medal entrant!

I think that the able bodied olympics is a waste of space, from the perspective it isnt worth the billions spent and the human rights abuses, the para olympic games is all the above and a sad reminder of what a crazy arse PC world we have become...............I mean how fucking stupid having a blind cyclist and sticking a able person on the bike, whats the point in that, if your blind dont ride a bike ffs

Nice to hear your support for our representatives though.:Pokey:

True... but 11pm??? And then only for an hour?

Could be worse, I suppose... Normally to see any of it, you had to wait for the end of the sports news for a snippet....
