Just been watching some GB gold successes replay. Wow, GB are doing so great, 2nd on the table with 9 gold and 35 medals haul on just the 3rd day.

Awesome stuff, go GB!

I'd won tickets to the Athletics last night and had great seats, in row 9... although, perhaps I would have seen more if I'd been higher up :confused:.

So many World Records, Personal Bests, Continental Records were beaten I lost track.

Saw Blade Runner run.

Also saw the Chinese triple jumper beat the World Record set by another Chinese paralympian in Athens. Then five minutes later he beat the WR he set earlier that evening!

Fab night!

We're kind of stuck in 2nd place at the moment, looks tough to catch China in the medals table, but I don't think Australia will catch us.

Considering we were 4th this morning, that's pretty good going. ;)

In 2008, GB came 2nd in the paralympics with 102 medals, and China came 1st with 211.

No one would expect us to overtake China. ;)

They sent a team smaller than the UK one! Clearly all their funding and time goes to Olympic athletes only :(

Really? Interesting....
You would have thought they looked after their Paralympians.
