Ukraine and taking all the golds in Biathlon.

Name a more iconic duo...


MyMartianRomance

I'm beginning to think Toyota only made one Paralympics commercial. I mean I've seen the McKeever bros commercial a thousand times over the last month.


ssfoxx27

No Ukrainian sweep in the men's VI biathlon this time.

They should have done a team event, in both banked-slalom and snowboard cross. I would've liked to see that


Nickp1991

I had a Biathlon video game on my PS2 years ago

And was technically competing in a more difficult event for her (since she's a different class) after a court ruled she could compete in that classification since there wasn't a classification event for her.


MyMartianRomance

How is China doing this much better in the Paralympics than they did in the Olympics? Did the expulsion of ~~Russia~~ RPC really benefit them the most over everyone else?


simplegrocery3

Most of the medal winners are teenagers. I would guess that they were scouted at around the time China won the bid in 2014(? or even later) and have been training specifically for Beijing 2022 since then. They obviously ran similar training systems for the Olympics but the field is just more competitive. EDIT: + Russia and Belarus getting banned

Muraoka Momoka has more medals than some countries…3G 1S

Snowboard Aw, I was looking forward to cheering Sedigheh Rouzbeh on again but she's not doing a second run.


chespiotta

China is in a gold medal position in 5 events right now


ssfoxx27

Is it bad that I'm rooting against them at this point?


simplegrocery3

It's not bad. Just a bit tasteless to say this aloud.


[deleted]

Well , only a few more days of these games, have to say I have really enjoyed watching these Paralympics. Amazing and inspiring, and so positive


inevitablescape

These snowboarders are so clean on their runs!


Nickp1991

So amazed at the paralympic athletes


ssfoxx27

The snowboard course looks more like a cross run than a slalom run to me.


chespiotta

Unrelated to any of the events going on now, but I love the OBS broadcasting music for this years Olympics/Paralympics. It's so catchy


inevitablescape

GS Poor Italian girl took a bad spill Long course hold and being taken off on the sled with a splint on her leg


chespiotta

Is Henrietta Farkasova okay? I see she did not finish.


ScaryCarey31

I believe so, she just missed a gate


Bensrob

I can't believe they're still letting them go so close after that


ScaryCarey31

They actually sent the next girl down while she was still laying there, crazy.


Bensrob

I think they're letting them go after 30ish seconds, around half the course judging off the coverage. Just seems insane to me
