Tokyo 2020 Paralympics: Day 5

Alison is back, and things are heating up in Tokyo -- literally. Some sports have heat delays! The heat's a bigger issue with Paralympians, and we'll explain why.

Also, 17 sports on today's event program:

• Archery
• Athletics
• Boccia
• Cycling Track
• Equestrian
• Goalball
• Judo
• Powerlifting
• Rowing
• Sitting Volleyball
• Swimming
• Table Tennis - with TKFLASTANI Melissa Tapper
• Triathlon
• Wheelchair Basketball
• Wheelchair Fencing
• Wheelchair Rugby
• Wheelchair Tennis

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!
