Better at badminton than me. That’s for sure!

Just saw Jack on the BBC 1.00 News
Ok they were focusing on Rachel but he was certainly in shot!

Hope he does well Tim, in fact I know he’ll do well he’s excellent at his sport. The dedication to get to Olympic level is bloody hard work.

Thanks for the heads up on his games, I’ll be watching.:+1:

Is that on channel 4 ?

The opening ceremony ( in parts ) is amazing, for the first time I think the Paralympics opening has eclipsed the Olympic opening.

On youtube now…
The main channel 4 coverage looks to be a highlights/entertainment style.
The youtube live channel is the place to watch anything specific.
Unfortunately lost 14 to 21 against the Indonesians, very tough opponents.
Not sure if its a league basis at the moment though?

Bugger! I missed the bit on the timings posted earlier that said they were an hour earlier than uk time so didn’t tune in 'till 9 and missed the match! :see_no_evil: :man_facepalming: :cry:

Scratch that comment… Catch-up is a thing… :smirk: :grin:

Good to hear its available on catch up in case I miss it. :+1:
It looks like their category is SH6.
