Team GB currently at the top with 3 Golds in cycling. Be nice if we could get a little thread going for the duration like the Olympics one, it would be unrealistic to expect the same level of interest but these guys are top atheletes all the same. We have a potential 5 gold medal winner in the long distance track events this year.

I think GB were hoping for 2nd in the Medals Table, not sure that's achievable as China are expected to have improved dramatically since the last Paralympics.

Basketball was excellent.  The coach wasn't happy, even though we beat China comfortably.  The coach wants another 30 points from GB in the next game!

David Weir is immense.  He's Usain Bolt and Kenenisa Bekele rolled into one.

Crash happened with one lap to go, judge ran onto the track to help someone and it is said that that interfered with the last lap of the race.

[  ] Discussing the sexual attractiveness of a 13-year old dwarf in an ironic capacity is going to shame me into changing my ways.
