Paracanoe needs a pictogram and a "general" article
A new pictogram needs to be created for Paracanoe. We also need an article about the sport in general, we already have a stubby article for Paracanoe at the Summer Paralympics. -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:13, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I have started a draft for Paracanoe, please feel free to expand it. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:39, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

According to The Guardian, the IPC are going to do what its Olympic counterpart didn't, and ban all Russian athletes' from the Paralympics. Other sources also reporting this news are The Telegraph, The Independent, and BBC Sport. However, the IPC state an official announcement will be made 7 August at 17:00 CEST (21:00 British Summer Time).
