Other nations have started investing more seriously in para sports, should Australia be doing the same? @westernsydneyu @waikato @UQ_news https://t.co/Uo5RlJEth2

[Samantha Lewis @battledinosaur]

one of the things I love about football is how it can be adapted to suit anyone who wants to play it. that includes people who have received life-saving transplants. did you know we had a Transplant National Team? me neither. so here’s a story about them. https://t.co/sD1GemZcZs

[Paul Bowell @PaulGB77]

We are excited to have a Conversation article out highlighting our research with @aflwomens footballers and their performance monitoring, demonstrating the difficulties semi-professional women athletes face coming into elite sport and the lack of supports. https://t.co/eiB8f5zV19

[Dr Georgia Munro-Cook @Gmunrocook]

Our new article on the gendered policy gap in Australian disability sport is now out- just in time for the Paralympics!

Trying to access the #Paralympics reminds me of the struggle of women’s sports promotion/ availability. No restaurant I’ve been to has played any Paralympic events and then they look at you wild if you request it to be played. Paralympians deserve respect & public recognition

[ABC SPORT @abcsport]

Three-time Paralympic medallist Shelley Matheson says funding shortfalls have "decimated" her sport after returning to Australia's wheelchair basketball team following the birth of her second baby.

@SimoneFullagar @GU_Incl_Futures @GriffithUniSAGE Looks incredible!

[Andrea Bundon @ultreia1x]

It was great to speak to you Lindsay and I hope people are excited to watch the #Paralympics! We need to celebrate the Games and these incredible athletes even while demanding better. @ubckin @ubccss @UBCEducation

[Dr Georgia Munro-Cook @Gmunrocook]

Great to see these issues getting more attention!

[Lindsay Gibbs @linzsports]

For Power Plays, I talked with Dr. Andrea Bundon (@ultreia1x) about the reasons behind the prevailing gender inequity in the Paralympics, why "mixed teams" aren't the answer, and the trope to avoid while watching the Paris Games: https://t.co/cwE3C7l4RJ

I learned so much!

[Dr Kasey Symons @kaseysymons]

Thanks so much for contributing to @Siren_Sport this month @Gmunrocook and delivering such an awesome resource for us all to follow disability sports!

This list is so helpful for these leagues and comps that don't often get media coverage so this is fantastic 💜
