So the Paralympics have started and I thought we could have a place to discuss the different races etc. It’s currently being shown on channel 4 for the next 11 days I think it is .

This morning we’ve already got a Gold and silver in cycling and we have just got bronze in the swimming !

    I’m watching, and will be as much as I can. I’m especially interested in the swimming.

    Up to six golds now. Maisie summers Newton and Tully Kearney got gold in the swimming today. Can’t wait for the wheelchair racing to start that’s my favourite
    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.
