- Basically all of the co-hosting and partner-city arrangements for the Paralympics have been nullified due to the continued coronavirus crisis.
- The Paralympics Torch Relay is behind closed doors.
- Hospital space in Tokyo is becoming the same impossibility it is in the United States, and the Paralympics is in grave danger because of it.
- It is hoped that over 4 billion people will watch the Paralympics.
All that is from Inside the Games.
- NBC has announced that over 200 hours of USA-athlete based coverage of the Paralympics will air, including an overnight (US time, this would be correct to Japan time) 12 hours a day on NBC Sports Network and both the Opening (August 24) and Closing (September 5) Ceremonies live.
- Another 1,000 hours of streaming coverage.
- Peacock will get in the act on events the USA has won Paralympic Gold in.
- And the backstories and the like will take precedence on the first-ever prime-time network coverage on NBC of the Paralympics. Just four hours over three weekend nights, but... (They will also do several weekend day shows on the main network as well.)
