Jeez, what a great race, Storey takes it, but fabulous effort by Gaugian! An 19th Paralympic gold medal for Dame Sarah Storey.

 

 

The medals just keep coming! Nice to see Jonnie Peacock finally come home with a silver medal in the mixed relay.

We had a special assembly for Bly this afternoon. Unfortunately, the size of the school meant that most people couldn't attend. I was able to ask the two students I was supporting in that lesson (RE) whether they would like to got to the assembly or do the lesson. It didn't take them long to decide :lol: Bly brought her medals in when she returned on Tuesday, as well as wearing them to the assembly today. Almost everybody who has picked one up comments on how heavy they are. They really do weigh a lot.

 

Swimmers can win a lot of medals in a single Games (both Olympic and Paralympic). I think they should have to wear their medals won so far in each subsequent race as a sort of handicap system.

^ Late message but I love that suggestion! :lol:
