    one gold .. awesome ride too .. felted to when she tumbled afterwards .. however what a buzz for Her

    one silver in the swimming .. yeah and only 15yrs old awesome

    Good on them!!

    It is just a shame that tvnz hasn't broadcast the same amount of coverage as the regular games.

    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!
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    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
    Ive run out of fucks to give

    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....
