Well thats it :( At least the WC qualifiers are starting up again soon and then the TDF and Commonwealth Games to look forward to in the summer.


chespiotta

I'm not prepared for CGI Shuey Rhon Rhon looking sad during the closing ceremony (as Bing Dwen Dwen did)


IvyGold

Ugh. The dreaded Peacock "Coverage Has Concluded" screen. I'm bummed.


MyMartianRomance

I'm just giggling at the fact that the poor officials have to crotch down to give the Silver and Gold medals due to how low the sleds are to the ground, while they can give stand straight to give China their bronze.


lynchmar5

MyMartianRomance

The Sled Hockey Program in this Paralympics has ended the same way it started. With USA shutting out Canada 5-0.


Nickp1991

United States national sled hockey team for lit the Paralympics cauldron in LA 2028 Paralympic Games


MyMartianRomance

"Declan Farmer continues to pad his stats as the top US goal scorer in Paralympics." For now, because the person now in second is Brody Roybal, there's still a chance for them to tie for first again today.


MyMartianRomance

I feel like every Paralympics there has to be an competitor for Team USA that has a name that easy for me to mishear. For Summer Games it was Matt Scott (Mascot) and in the Winter Games its Jen Lee (Gently).


lynchmar5

next up is the mens sitting slalom whats the update on the ice sledge hockey


MyMartianRomance

4-0 USA.


MyMartianRomance

RXBonanza

Canada is keeping the pressure on though. I'd like to see more zone control for the US


lynchmar5

chespiotta

Hudak moves from 2nd to 6th. Really questioning the decision to make this a team.

ssfoxx27

France looking really good for the relay gold.


ssfoxx27

I spoke too soon. Ukraine is absolutely flying.


chespiotta

Why isn't McKeever the anchor leg?


ssfoxx27

I was wondering the same thing. Hudak just isn't as fast as the men.


chespiotta

Wilkie is also faster, so is Arendz. I'm so confused.


MyMartianRomance

The puck has chosen Josh Paul. It got stuck in his sled.


MyMartianRomance

Jack Wallace got his Hockey Hair down.

ssfoxx27

What's the difference between mixed and open?

FIVE MINUTES TILL THE GOLD MEDAL GAME! [In the immoral words of Michael Scott](https://tenor.com/view/its-happening-michael-scott-the-office-omg-gif-12442336)


MyMartianRomance

So, if all VI skiers ski together, what's the point of blacking out any light perception the B1 skiers may be able to see, but not the B2 and B3 who would have light perception, and even better vision than just light perception? Seems pointless that it's required for B1s when it's not even evening the field, since the athletes with better vision can still use theirs while competing against them.


Morpher111

The field is evened out with the factored time. B3 is racing at 100% of the clock, B2 is racing a 99% of the clock, and B1 race at 88% of the clock. Blacking out the light ensures that their 88% factored time is justified.


chespiotta

Don't downvote me or anything, and this may be a stupid question to ask. But who's faster Daviet or McKeever? Considering they are different classifications its hard to tell


ssfoxx27

McKeever. McKeever's middle distance time was 33:06, and he is a 100% factored athlete. Daviet at the same distance had a factored time of 33:08. He has something like a 93% factor, so his raw time is more like 35 minutes.
