OLYMPICS 2020 Tokyo Olympics

Great comments from the coach too. I feel like he might be selling his own contribution a bit short, he is an excellent coach. Great experience all round.

Goorjian is great, problem is, do we have any up and coming coaches? He won't be around forever.

It is paralympics time y'all!

I love watching these events, they are just simply inspiring. The Aussies also tend to win a lot.

Appreciate it @Sproj. Doesn't get as much coverage as the "main event" but I still like to hear about it.

I skimmed past it, but I thought I saw an article on Facebook today that Scomo has said all the Paralympians that earn a medal will receive the same money as their able bodied athletes?
