will be watching
wonβt be watching
You can see the event schedule here .
Which events is everyone excited about? Is anyone in Paris for it? Iβm keen to see para archery and wheelchair tennis but will probably watch the highlights of everything.

Wonβt be watching the opening ceremony, will be watching the games, not sure if Iβve 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 Iβll 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 itβs gonna bypass me.

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

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