Great effort from Holland for a 17m or so population.
India letting everyone down with zero golds from a 1.3bn population.

Great achievement for NZ, more than Canada who won 9 Gold medals (27 total), our most ever in a non boycotted Games.

Australia achieved a record tally 18 gold and only slipped on the last day, from 3rd to fourth. Very proud of 99.9% of them.
I’ve read that Yorkshire came 14th …..
Spent the morning at the Stade de France watching the Paralympic Athletics. Quite inspirational. If I were blind, the temptation would be to stay home, stay safe and survive. The lady in the picture below decided she'd rather become an elite long jump athlete. Hats off to her, quite incredible.

Really good coverage by C4 of the Paralympics, with the single exception of the ubiquitous Claire Balding turning up again.
I do spend a lot of time looking up what all the different categories mean though. For those with the same challenge this website is helpful

Paris doing the competition proud by the look of it. Today has been sensational for GB.

These para Olympians from all countries, really are quite amazing people. Regardless of where they place, they have already achieve what 99.9% of could never dream of. Well done to them for having the grit to do so. They are all true winners.

Today was the Wheelchair basketball. Playoff womens match for 7-8 (???) between Spain and Japan followed by men's, Germany vs Canada for the bronze medal. Didn't realise wheelchair basketball is so aggressive...they smack into each other and a number of the players ended up with their wheelchairs turned over and needing help to get upright again.
