Will I be able to watch it on the bbc iplayer
In which Tv channel live broadcast for Tokyo Paralympics 2020.
Thanks man
I have been somewhat disappointed with NBC’s coverage of the Olympics. For example, the Canadians came in THIRD in rowing and they were the only ones talked about or shown winning their Bronze medals. I sure hope that the Paralympics will show better sportsmanship and clearly announce the participants, whether from North America or not. I also hope we will get to watch the exciting Paralympics on TV this year. What can you tell me about the televisual arrangements made so we can all enjoy the high level of athletics from these challenging games. Perhaps it will be shown on my computer or through a streaming service if not on TV. I wish the best for every participant. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL!
