Gonna catch the Paralympics this year as well. Curious how how they make things “fair” since not every athletes impairments are equal? Im sure they try to group them as fairly as possible but how tight are the groupings really? I know in running all the blind athletes are blind folded (most do have some type of vision atleast with shadows and light) to keep it fair.

Each sport has classifications for the different types and levels of disability. I wondered about this for the longest because the events would be like “T43 Running”

Letter = what sport (t for track, s for swimming etc)
First number = type of disability
Second number = level/severity of disability

If the bring breaking back for 2032, hope the improve the presentation

Baseball, softball ball, cricket and lacrosse being there in 2028 should be cool.

Flag football should be interesting too.

Still disappointed won't have BJJ/submission grappling or kick boxing though

If breakdancing were in the 1984 Olympics, the U.S. would have cleaned up all of the medals.

I don’t think it beats this Irish one from Rio:

Breakdancing is cool, but it’s not an Olympic sport imo.

It’s only a matter of time before they try to get “Tag” in the Olympics.

Or even worse…Esports.

 

[moe200069]

Hell nah man.. i grew up kickin it with breakdancers in high school but hell absolutely no. This **** is disrespectful to the concept of sport and competition. For sure dont bring it back to LA in ‘28
