Don’t think I ever heard the “sentimental” version of Le Manse’s “Parade” medal song, but here we are.

It’s really over, isn’t it?

@talkhoops Yup - I went there! It was only 2 blocks from my apt.

@flamealivepod I at least had a day in Switzerland where I was mixing myself up wondering whether saying “Guten Tag” was okay or if I should just say “Hallo” and then “Bonjour” just blurting out.

[Team USA @TeamUSA]

Mark your calendars 📅

The #ParisOlympics and #ParisParalympics may be over, but the Team USA party continues soon. 👀

[Light The Cauldron @CauldronLight]

France hates pianos. How many have they destroyed between the #Olympics and #Paralympics Opening and Closing Ceremonies?!?!

[Para Athletics @ParaAthletics]

It’s Closing Ceremony time! 🥹

Let’s wrap up the @Paris2024 Paralympic Games!✨

💭Thought for the evening💭

Are the opportunities there for more disabled people to get involved in sports beyond participation?
If not, why not and how do we change this?

Coaches?
Umpires?
Referees?
Administration?
Media?
Physios?

Thoughts?…..

[Light The Cauldron @CauldronLight]

Y’know, I could just say “less than two years till the Winter Olympics!” but in all honesty, the Games in the summer have always been peak sport for me. So yeah, it’s gonna be hard waiting for #LA28 to finally arrive!

[Paralympic Games @Paralympics]

When you realise it's almost over for another 4 years 🥲

Okay I just watched an AMAZING gold medal match in men’s singles wheelchair tennis between 🇬🇧 Alfie Hewitt and 🇯🇵 Tokito Oda. Hewitt had gold medal point and Oda stormed back and took the win and the gold! #Paralympics2024 #Paris2024 #Paralympics
