A-Money1983 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I think there was already one from the OG, whenever the German Canoe/Kayak coach passed away in a car accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"An Iranian Para-cyclist has died after a crash during the men's C4-5 road race at the Rio Paralympics. The International Paralympic Committee said Bahman Golbarnezhad, 48, suffered cardiac arrest after the incident on a "mountainous stretch" of circuit." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/disability-sport/37398333 Edited September 18, 2016 by Mainad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Money1983 Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 From all of the social media updates (Facebook, Snapchat, Periscope, and YouTube), it appears these Paras have provided quite the atmosphere! It seems that the vibrancy from the Paralympics is what they wanted from the Olympic Games, largely because there are more events made available and accessible to the public. I wasn't there, but I'm sure Zeke can fill us in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexjc Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Probably the BEST Paralympics ever. The BIG surprise was the host city, Rio de Janeiro along with Brazil in pulling off an event that looked to be doomed a week before it started. The moment the Opening Ceremony got underway you sort of knew these games were going to be something else. Brilliant athletes, exciting events and respectable crowd participation along with a more relaxed atmosphere ensured the Paralympics more from a "they can do it too" sideshow into a very credible first tier multi sports event. Thank You Brazil 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
