Oh I see we now have 2 medals. Bronze for Louzanne Coetzee in the 1500m t11.
 
Some of the replies there lmao :laugh:

I do think it's so unfair though that he lost because he has to hit his head against the wall. His head finished ahead of the winner's head but the winner wins because he has arms lol.

Makes no sense that those two swimmers are in the same class - a guy with no arms swimming against a guy with all his limbs????

The other one's legs don't work.

It's bizarre. Arms should be much much faster. But this guy seems to go properly fast.

Not sure how they start, but if it's a dive, then the guy with legs and no arms will have a massive advantage at the start, soon to be overtaken by the guy with arms.
 
19yo Simone Kruger just won gold in the women's discus at the Paralympics :)
 
Samsung wraps up Paris 2024 - the Olympic highlights in numbers

Samsung has been a partner of the Olympic and Paralympic community for decades, but its participation in Paris 2024 has exceeded all expectations. Now that the games are over, Samsung has shared some of its memorable milestones.

The Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition was used for 293 victory selfies, in which all medalists took selfies with the main cameras after the medal ceremony for their discipline. Samsung said this provided a more personal approach to the memory sportspeople created rather than having a traditional photo taken by accredited media.

We already reported that every athlete and para-athlete received the Galaxy Z Flip6 Olympic Edition. Samsung shared the final tally - 17,000 units with a customized suite, eSIM with 5 GB data courtesy of Orange, Samsung Wallet with a pre-installed card for public transport, and an exclusive social media portal only for Olympians to share their memories.

Samsung also provided 15,000 Galaxy devices to staff and volunteers, including 7,100 phones, 2,500 Galaxy Tab tablets, and 5,200 Galaxy Book laptops.
