Ch. 4 want you to subscribe - more spam? No thanks

@ectoplasm 's above download link for a m3u file offers 6 channels, looks like more coverage than even SuperSport. Think it's Indian It's Malaysian, but live events are all in English so far.

Absolutely love this guy.
Seems very humble.
One of my two favourite athletes atm; Wanyonyi being the other.
Let's hope he stays injury-free and challenge Simbine's national record.

Was watching some Boccia tonight, totally confusing as there was no commentary. Had to Google to have any clue what it is

Yeah now I'm watching it for the first time. I guess it's their version of lawn bowls?

All I know is everyone involved and everyone watching must have a ton of patience lol. Damn it's slow.

Sadly lost 8-0. Not Bad as her opponent tonight is favorite for a medal

Another new sport I discovered today is called Goalball. Seems to be for blind people only.

Presume coverage is also on the BBC i-Player?
Found a way around the issues some of us were having with them via Windscribe - use the desktop app instead of the browser version.

Gold for Mpumelelo Mhlongo in the Paralympics men's 100m t44 something. SA's first medal?

Edit: yup, SA's first medal.

 

[wbot]

Damn, look at our Paralympic medals over the years. So far just the 1 gold for 2024.

Not trying to be insensitive, but there are some paralympic posts on reddit which are hilarious:

Some of the replies there lmao

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.
