You can see the event schedule here.

Which events is everyone excited about? Is anyone in Paris for it? I’m keen to see para archery and wheelchair tennis but will probably watch the highlights of everything.

Won’t be watching the opening ceremony, will be watching the games, not sure if I’ve answered the poll correctly

Wheelchair basketball is good, watched loads of that at the European para championships a few months ago

Boccia is a bit like bowls so I’ll be watching that

Really enjoyed the wheelchair basketball and goalball in 2012. Wish I had the mental capacity to get into the Paralympics this year, but I fear it’s gonna bypass me.

A mixture. Love Channel 4’s take on it, but adverts…

Was not expecting Rob Walker to be shouting enthusiastically at me after Christine and the Queens.

This is a MASSIVE improvement on the Olympics opening ceremony.

Absolutely. Beautiful weather, far better setting and, so far, cooler music performance too. It’s just more French!
