    Not seen a thread for it yet. I’m really enjoying it so far, the adverts on Channel 4 are a bit annoying every few minutes though! 22 medals so far, second in the medal table.

    Not watched any live but may do at the weekend - following via highlights and The Last Leg. We seem to be doing quite well so far.
    Anyone know why for some of the wheelchair fencing they are covered with a tablecloth?

    I’ve been many watching on catch up through All4. I keep wanting to see wheelchair basketball but every time it comes on they switch to something else! The Invictus Games were on in Florida when we were there a few years ago and we got tickets for wheelchair basketball, it was brilliant, we got right into it. We lost the final by quite a bit and all the Americans were laughing at us, in a friendly way, whenever we cheered a basket as we were possibly the only British there, except family, and we were playing USA.

    It's heartening to see so many athletes from Brazil, shows that the games are gathering momentum.
