Another day in Paris, another load of World and Paralympic Records going down! Jill went to Wheelchair Rugby…and let’s just say there may be a podcast fight over who covers the final. Meanwhile, Alison braved the chill of the Grand Palais to see TKFLASTAN bring home a medal in Para Taekwondo. Plus, an email from a TKFLASTANI upended evening plans for all the right reasons.

Sports on today’s program are:

• Boccia
• Goalball
• Para Archery
• Para Athletics
• Para Badminton
• Para Cycling – Track
• Para Rowing
• Para Swimming
• Para Table Tennis
• Para Taekwondo
• Shooting Para Sport
• Sitting Volleyball
