Paralympics Opening Ceremony Live Post



Some countries + USA: Youtube Official Stream

Bootleg stream: Stream Link

US Eastern: From 3:20 pm
London: From 8:20 pm


Some 3,000 volunteers will take part in the event, which organisers have entitled Enlightenment.

Professor Stephen Hawking and actor Sir Ian McKellen will narrate the show, which is due to begin at 20:30 BST.

But there are doubts the Paralympic flame will arrive on time, as the torch relay is running an hour late.

Meanwhile, Malawi have withdrawn from the games due to lack of funding.

A Locog spokeswoman said they were still hopeful the torch being used in the relay would make it to the Olympic Stadium in time for the opening ceremony.

A back-up flame was earlier created at City Hall, to make certain the ceremony could start as planned.

The flame began its journey in Stoke Mandeville, the spiritual home of the Paralympic Games, on Tuesday night.

It will be carried by 580 torchbearers in total, and after being carried past some of London's most famous landmarks, will be used to light a scaled-down version of the Olympic cauldron.

There won't be as many posts about this approved as the regular Olympics (I struggled how to phrase that...) but this is awesome and best of luck to all the athletes.

ALL THE WAY

well there were so fucking many posts for the olympics, and it dominated the american TV land.
but lol really?
anyway, the paralympic athletes aren't really of the same well known/celeb status as people like ryan lochte
