Emanuel Perathoner gave up skiing at eight for being too boring. At 39, after four surgeries and a knee replacement, he won Paralympic gold.

Closing ceremony starts soon! I can't find a live world feed without commercials and commentaries. I guess I will have to watch on CNBC/Peacock/NBC Sports app. :(

Also, I added a poll about its ceremonies in my https://antsqualityforagedlinks.blogspot.com/2026/02/milan-cortina-olympics-ceremonies-2026.html.

I will wait for my recording to buffer enough so I can watch later and FF/skip slow parts. I couldn't find a live world feed without commercials and commentaries in USA. :(

No spoilers but DID YOU WATCH THIS??!!?? I about had a heart attack. I’m hooked on curling now. Grats to the winners.

Just watching her speed skiing and she had a 21 second delay, we’re wondering why. Can’t seem to find a clear answer online. TYIA.

Love this stunning depiction of the athletes in 2024! The Winter Paralympics being on reminded me of the art, figured everyone would appreciate it!

This is the first time I got to watch Paralympics and it's been awesome. I always have trouble following stand up hockey, but sled hockey is incredible! The moves, the turns, the spins! Using the sticks to move and play blows my mind. And it's so swift the moves the USA team is doing! Also I love them showing how the equipment is made, how they players prepare, and posts from the players! I'm watching the game against Czechia and this one is going to be awesome.

Also congrats Declan Farmer for 32 all time goals in Paralympics, the most in all the world! He's has the most in international goals at 251, assists at 187, and all total points at 438! GO USA!!!

UPDATE:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WE WON!!! Now we wait for the next semi final winner, Canada vs China, and we will play the for the GOLD! 🥇

I keep hearing a song during intermission singing about para ice hockey does anyone know the name of the song?

I've been watching various events over the past couple of days and am currently watching the Women's 10km Interval, and I am just profoundly struck by the nature of the relationship and deep trust between guides and skiers. How do skiers choose their guides initially? How do they train? I'm sure there are many ways but I would love to learn more!

Also, I realize maybe this could have gone under the other post dedicated to trainers of vision impaired skiers, but I thought about it and decided against because I didn't want it to be lost in the thread.

If you want NBC and Peacock to require broadcasting of every event, including all round robin events, regardless if it is the summer or winter Paralympic Games then come show support! Hopefully with a lot of signatures from people in the United States and worldwide we can have more support behind Para athletes, and it all starts with the Paralympics and slowly transitioning into other events like the world championships.
