I am legit starting my scheming on how to get to the LA paralympics because of your comments. So thank you for these bb. When did you buy your event tickets?
Doooo iiiittt! I wasn't planning on being in Paris at all, and decided at the very last minute to go. Because of this, all of my tickets were pretty much bought a few days before each competition, a lot the night before, and one four hours before.
There were a few events I wanted to see that I was never able to get tickets to (like blind football) but those tickets were probably sold out the minute tickets went on sale, months before.
I think for smaller sports, like table tennis and boccia, you could probably find tickets a few weeks before. And remember, some people will buy tickets thinking their team will make to to the semis/finals, and then put them up for sale when that doesn't happen.
All this to say, if you want to see blind football in LA, buy tickets as soon as they go on sale. If you want to see something less popular, you can probably wait/hope. Worst case, you buy a ticket for something else and discover a new sport instead (how I ended up at boccia when archery was sold out.)
thank you for answering my question about what it’s like to watch track & field. 🔭
re: LA28, I live in the SF Bay Area so I have no excuse, I must go to the Paralympics for at least a weekend! especially after I’ve tried to promote it on social media. lead by example!
so that’s the plan right now. I hope Sheetal Devi will be back in LA; I’d love to see her shine in person 🏹
(Also, I hate how they give athletes with missing hands/arms the mascot to hold. Like, they couldn't have figure out a better gift for them? Some have to hold it between their head and neck. The prize person wasn't thinking about accessibility when they came up with this idea.)
Watching men's epee Poland vs. GB and it seems like a oversight that the platform the wheelchairs are attached to isn't then attached to the ground? Folks are rocking and rolling in them
Hi! Thank you to the fabulous symphonicdream for your great Paralympic posts and your archery-stanning comments. 🏹
I am currently watching Texas vs Michigan football (go Blue) but I’m going to set up a laptop so I can also watch the women’s sitting volleyball gold medal match at 10:30 am Pacific (USA v. China). Speaking of which, I saw Katie Bridge’s Toyota commercial during primetime coverage last night! 🏐

Just tuned into powerlifting live but it seems they're on a break so switched to Epee. Excited for some Primetime love.

And this Chinese swimmer is so cute.
