It's the first day of Paralympic action from Tokyo....not that we could figure out how to see much of it. We've got a big beef with NBC, some new-found appreciation for wheelchair rugby, and even kind things to say about Mike and Maya.

Today's coverage includes:

• Cycling - Track
• Goalball
• Swimmming
• Table Tennis - with TKFLASTANI Millie Tapper
• Wheelchair Basketball
• Wheelchair Fencing (not that we can watch it)
• Wheelchair Rugby

Plus, our popular segments:

• What Officiating/Volunteer Roles Would We Want?
• TKFLASTAN Watch

We need your help! For the upcoming Winter Olympics and Paralympics in 2022, we'll have an on-the-ground presence. This will allow us to bring you an Olympics audio experience like no other. But getting to Beijing will be difficult, so we've got a Kickstarter campaign running to help get us there. Please check it out and support our efforts to bring you a better show. Thank you for your support!

Thanks so much for listening, and until next time, keep the flame alive!
