Not even 20 minutes into this presidential debate and it’s already unhinged

Think of all the commentators across the world apologising for the language in that song in the LA segment

I really believe the LA 2028 Paralympics could be one of the most significant in the history of the Paralympic movement. If they go well, the Paralympics can finally reach the American mainstream and many countries may follow

Rio had rain during its Olympic closing ceremony Paris had rain during the Olympic opening and Paralympic closing Yet somehow London (just about) avoided rain across all four of its ceremonies

People really throw about the terms ‘fast track’, ‘fast pool’ and ‘fast course’ like they have no meaning whatsoever

BBC covering athletics: We won’t be showing you any of those nasty field events Channel 4 covering athletics: We won’t be showing you any track events. Or field events. Unless there’s a Brit competing, but even then, only maybe

I like that the idea of honouring Paralympians from all over the world as torchbearers in the stadium but it seems a bit redundant when they all come from countries that are likely to host the Paralympics in the not too distant future.

It would be nice if they had remembered to introduce the torchbearers by name

They’ve really overestimated the appeal of mass-choreographed numbers in this ceremony

I don’t see the point of hosting it in the city centre so 65,000 people can watch along the Champs Elysees, when the Stade de France holds ~10,000 more than that
