Sitting para table tennis player Doi Kentarō. The Shizuoka native recently won individual bronze and team gold at the Bangkok Open. He is smaller than most other competitors due to having brittle bone disease, but he insists he makes up for his deficit in power with a wicked spin shot.

It's so disrespectful what the German TV station ZDF did. They just interrupt the opening ceremony of the Paralympics for the news. Yeah they are a public service broadcaster and one of their aims is to spread news and knowledge. But to interrupt an openinc ceremony of the biggest sports event for people with disabilities is just DISRESPECTFUL!

They only had to inflame the flame and the news would have had a delay of about 10 minutes.

I'm just angry and furious now

Truly one of the most moving adverts I've ever seen. It's a shame some people aren't as psyched about the Paralympics as they were about the Olympics. Surely the Paralympics is much more demanding for these athletes. All the best to Team GB.
