Two Paralympic Sports that I Enjoy Watching

Wheelchair rugby and blind football, soccer in American English, are two Paralympic sports that I really enjoy watching. I saw a blind football game between Japan and Colombia on Sunday night. It is amazing to see players dribble the ball between their feet even though they can’t see it. The goalkeepers are the only players who can see, but blind players can score against them. Colombia scored a point against Japan and went on to win 1-0. Wheelchair rugby is even more exciting because it is rough and fast-paced just like regular rugby. Players hit each other in their wheelchairs and sometimes knock each other over. This time the Japanese team played five games and won every game. They beat the U.S.A. in the finals and got their first gold medal! (131 words)
