Pyb, great stuff. It would be great if we could increase coverage of sports which we don't cover very well, if at all, on Commons. Can I make some suggestions where video would be great. 1. Dwarf tossing[1] 2. Bog snorkelling[2] 3. Cheese rolling[3] and one of Australia's favourite backyard sports... 4.

It's a shame, the National Summer games for Switzerland where last week-end, and I was not aware of it... I do agree that the para-sport (both disabled and special athletes) needs a better coverage (and the french public agrees [1]). Some of us went to the 2013 IPC Athletics World Championships last year [2], Pyb was at the Meeting d'Athlétisme Paralympique de Paris [3] this week, Ludo and I will go to the french paralympic cycling championship next week-end... Parasport is (IMO) a good way to try sport photography. People are really nice and accessible, and the parasport is in need of more media coverage, so they are less likely to rebuff you. I really like parasport photography, and I'm willing to provide more photos and vidéos for Commons. But the main problem is the knowledge of such events. They are not advertised in the press, and we must go and seach the information on the websites of the federations, which is very time consuming. I discover sports and events in the press, when the events are over (like the National Summer games...). One of the goals of this thread is to find a way to help us (as a community) to better communicate on those events (para and not para), and try to have a better coverage (and many more photographers all around the world).
