The Paralympics thread

Its the big kick off tonight im looking forward to it

 

Indeed - can't wait

 

If you thought there were tears for the Olympics, stand by for this!!

It's going to amazing to watch, really looking forward to non media trained athletes.

Credit to channel 4 for having the balls to use disabled reporters, the odd teething issue is going to make it better I think.

 

Back in '96 I was in Atlanta. I missed the normal* Olympics but watched a days Athletics of the Paralympics in a virtually half empty stadium, shame really, but I really enjoyed it



* ooh, I fell wrong saying normal olympics, but you know what I mean....

 

oh, and 'come on team GB' btw

 

I love all this stuff

 

Going next wednesday night. Got seats right at the end of the 100m straight............Can't wait, should be good day.

 

Great start using the most famous wheelchair user ever!

 

What's going on with all this science reference?

 

The Queen looks grim!

 

I hate the commentary. Why do they need to commentate? On the Beeb you could watch without it. Before anyone mentions the blind I know...

Oh well.....

 

And adverts now Soz ch4 but the Beeb rules

 

Its all gone a bit Pete tong for me, I aint watching them all come in for two hours

 

Loving the dancing tash man at the end of the dancing people.

 

I'm in tears already - the woman in the 7/7 attack who had a 10 minute lay in saying that maybe it was meant to be for her to end up here. I managed to get tickets for next Thursday nights athletics - am soooooo excited.

 

Got tickets for next Saturday in the stadium. Can't wait!
