Wish we could see some WAG. Managed to get the BBC feeds working with a CHROME browser extension called HULA. Works great. But they have literally shown no WAG since noon, though some have competed.

Here you go. AUS did very well.

 

[Iwannabemargo]

Loved the Red-headed Aussie girl, she was so up-beat

 

[MissLisa]

Thank you. I could find that, this morning!

I'm curious. We've loved watching the games and like the fact that the para sports are all mixed in at the same time, rather than being a separate event.

The spread of countries bringing para athletes to the games seems to have increased since the olympics (although it was pretty impressive then), with some coming from tiny far flung places, but I've noticed that there seem to be very few Australian para athletes competing. I remember at the olympics thinking there were relatively few US or Australian para athletes and, considering they are such big sporting nations, they don't seem to share the success of countries such as the UK and Netherlands.

Are para sports not very popular over there? Or is it just a distance thing?

Off topic I know and you may not know.

 

[bogwoppit]

Distance issue in Canada, I imagine it is the same in AUS.

What happened to Woo? a 10.8 on bars....yikes...I saw online that Moors "wasn't ready" but would have thought she would have beat that score...and McPeak from Ireland got a 10.2 on bars ....was it low difficulty or awful execution?
