This year is the first time I’ve watched the Olympic games, and I absolutely loved watching judo. Imagine my thrill when I found out judo will also be featured in the Paralympics!
Anybody else planning to watch the Paralympics? If so, what sport? I am a bit curious about “blind football” and “wheelchair basketball” (as titled in my language), so I might give those a try as well.
My thoughts as a layman:
They probably have very different rulesets. Deaflympics “only” has to account for the fact that the athletes cannot hear sounds like speaker announcements, starting pistols etc., whereas Paralympic athletes have physical disabilities that directly influence their performance.
