Competition starts tonight!
Been watching some highlights of the 2020 Paralympics. Not that I needed the reminder, but these athletes are incredible, and the stories are unbelievable. I mean take goalball, either no vision or extremely limited vision (10%), eye masks for fairness. I think how I’d be without vision…
First Aussies are in action in the swimming, with poised to be a megastar Alexa Leary in action in the S10 heats for the women’s 50m freestyle. Keira Stephens also in this event, and hopefully she’s in better form than what was an underwhelming Olympic trial. Defending Olympic champion in the men’s 50m freestyle Ryan Crothers is also up.
Wheelchair rugby we take on Great Britain. Archery, track cycling, boccia, table tennis, plenty of Aussies in action. The day concludes with Australia taking on Netherlands in men’s wheelchair basketball.
Day 1 Highlights: All times ACST
