All great countries fall. No Exceptions. It's your turn, U of SA.
MurriCAN'T lol
Brayden Clark
i don't think there are any americans in this thread user
Joseph Long
Yanks don't watch sports events they lose user, none here. Hell most countries don't care, Brits only do because C4 did so well promoting the London games. I think it was the first sellout paralympics.
Adrian Cox
China absolutely rekking Algeria.
Austin Collins

SAVAGE A V A G E
Angel Reyes

Thomas Lewis
>Brazilian TV only plays apehoop
Why
Logan Bailey
Only event going on right now.
Levi Sanders
Why the fuck does no one post webms? Old thread reached post limit, 2 webms, 1 paralympics related. Instead >9000 screenshots with the fucking medal count. -.-
Austin Thompson
HOLY FUCK what a Chinese qt this Ke Liting
Jason Butler

Dylan Foster
Don't get me wrong, I'll gladly watch it.
Nolan Stewart
I don't know how to make a webm.
Alexander Hughes
Maybe tomorrow. I'm banned on my computer right now
Adrian Taylor

There's a thought: Cricket in the Paralympics. Even for those in wheelchairs.
Would such a sport have the classification of, say... T20?
One of the athletes in the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics:
Brody Butler
Anyone hyped for the rugby?
Henry Gray
Always.
Jordan Gomez
Bump before bed. Pls keep this alive until tomorrow.
Henry Sullivan
Who let all these amputatds play sports? Fucking disgusting
Jason Green
Holy shit, Canada is getting rekt.
Alexander Perry
I've hardly watched any Paralympics today ;_;
Has anyone entered the Sup Forums banner contest to make a banner advert for Sup Forums? I have submitted two, but I won't post them here in case that's breaking a rule or anything. Contest ends on Saturday, then there's a week of voting, so get involved, everyone!
Leo Cook
>Who let all these amputatds play sports?
>pic from 2012 London Paralympics
...oh, I dunno. You tell me.
>Butthurt at Dumbfuckistani MurriCAN'Ts being inferior to UzbekiCAN
Who let your country come 6th in the 2012 London Paralympics? The only thing that's Fucking Disgusting are the inferior subhumans like you. Now you go back to bed little boy, the adults are talking.
Carson Turner
>go back to bed It's probably like 8pm where he is. >Americans, stuck in the past once again
Jeremiah Perez
>Neo-Sup Forums can't even get a paralympics thread rolling
What went wrong, lads?
Lucas Johnson
You're trying way too hard here
Brandon Nelson
They're over for the day no? This isn't the first thread
Henry Collins
do these paralympics have gymnastics aged competitors?
Wyatt Morris
It's a schoolday, little boy. Now you go back to bed, the adults are talking.
Elijah Hernandez
if you mean 16 year olds then yeah plenty of them. lots of degenerative disabilities so younger people are often just better
Justin Butler
There was still basketball going on
Jeremiah Thompson
>rolling
Paralympic threads are like 90% Britbongs, and Britbongs are mostly asleep now. Only students and glorious NEETs are still up; it's 3am here.
Also, nobody has posted the advert for the 2012 Paralympics which I still firmly consider to be one of the greatest adverts of all time. Maybe it will help burger lurkers to get hype. There's a similar advert for these games too, but it's shit. youtube.com/watch?v=NY7Zp96jYZM
Anthony Richardson
Swimming is the sport with children in it. I think they made a rule banning children from gymnastics, because of all the child abuse there used to be, but there are 13-year-old Olympic and Paralympic swimmers literally right now.
Brody Scott
>There's a similar advert for these games too, but it's shit.
I liked it. Pretty cheerful.
Mason Nelson
Are any of these events even half decent or are they just cripples flailing around?
Luke Davis
Mostly just cripples flailing around, but you can bet your ass that if you were to compete with/against them, they would make you feel like a cripple yourself because they are really, really good at what they're doing.
Cooper Campbell
Morning all.
In addition to what we had yesterday, some more sports start today: 5-a-side football, rowing, sitting volleyball, and wheelchair tennis.
Don't you guys feel at least somewhat sad when watching the paralympians tho? My gf says that it really disheartens her and I understand, even though I rationalise it quite successfully, but still, most of their stories are tragic and sombre.
So how do you deal with >dem feels
Matthew Martin
Lotta landmines there. They've got experience.
Austin Taylor
aren't guys with one human leg at a huge disadvantage compared to the carbon fibre guys?
Imagine being 5 years old in China, getting told you're not good enough for the olympics but that you'll have a leg cut off to win paralympics instead
William Scott
Some of the amputee running categories are really fucking fast. Like half a second behind the able bodied times for the 100m that happened at the olympics.
Nicholas Ross
lel
Leo Campbell
Do you think we will eventually get to the point that they can make these prosthetic legs so well that the Paralympics will be faster than the olympics
Julian Turner
Well people like Peacock can run a 10.81 100m in a heat. The olympic heats had people going 10.01 and the finals 9.81. 0.8 seconds to a second is a large gap in 100m running.
Joshua James
an hungarian with feels? I thought you guys were all drunken far-right cunts
that being said, I don't feel as sad for the runners as I do for the rest, simply because legs are 'easy' to replace.
but all of them should deserve a gold medal because of their inability and their titanic tenacity to overcome it. Simply put, being a paralympian is a statement to the world that says 'Look at me, I am a human too, notice me.'
Lord knows how much suffering they must have gone under. All those days, weeks months years of suffering, of crippling depression, of overwhelming desperation...
It must be nightmarish.
Benjamin Williams
More basketball today?
Ayden Butler
swimming is about to start, lads
Matthew Nelson
...
Landon Ramirez
Being disabled isn't the only way to have a horrible life. There are plenty of abused kids and women getting raped who will never get to receive a medal on TV. Everybody's got problems. I know this isn't a great way to deal with feels, but that's how I deal with it.
Adam Price
is that more fun than football 5?
Dominic Cox
If you were the absolute best athlete in your disability category, would they let you compete against the next category up? If Paralympians can sometimes do the able-bodied Olympics, it would make sense for the best S3 swimmer to race against S4 swimmers or whatever.
Luis Peterson
how shit are these goalies if they can see just fine?
Lincoln Lewis
Bang
Blake Price
athletes get reclassified quite often but they wouldn't move people up or down just because they were really good/shit
Gabriel Gonzalez
not all disabled people are cripplingly depressed u no.You can be chill as fuck without the ability to stand
not a great game tbf, argentina are shit and gb are playing badly, its 32-6
Justin Hall
when does my ancient wheelchair waifu compete?
if there is a more kawaii 68 year old I don't want to know about them.
Jack Murphy
lads which race ages the best? i wanna marry the race that will still look hot at 50 or 60
hispanic? arabic? slav? i have no idea
Andrew Miller
After the regrettable encounter with Canada, I want to see the GB girls steamrolling another team, so that sounds just all right.
Levi Hughes
not really steamrolling them, they're shooting terribly, they're shooting at 45% and they're not shooting 45% shots, should be well over 60. The defense is good though
Thomas Myers
Which one of the GB players is the MVP so far?
Cooper Gray
>all those fucking hair clips
Brody Long
Morrow has only played sparingly but was excellent when on court, Conroy and Griffiths are having good games too
Liam Foster
How is Carrigill doing?
Sebastian Clark
>Rowing classes are mixed gender Huh, interesting.
Jordan Mitchell
they are cute.
I don't care at all about the paralysed olympics except I hope she wins.
Luke Smith
workhorse, great in D and she's having success sealing off in offense but the argies are (probably rightfully) letting her play to concentrate on the bigger threats. No pointz of her own, she played about 15 of the 20 minutes so far so they're resting Charlie Moore
Dylan Myers
Cycling time trial finals right now.
Brody Peterson
ok so what's wrong with these cyclist cunts i see two legs and two arms
