Paralympics

The Paralympics Have you ever heard of an event called the Paralympics?! Would you like to know more about it? I did some research about it and the Paralympics are sports for the blind, or the physically injured people, or in other words handicapped people. The sports are Ice sledge hockey, biathlon, and cross country skiing. Have you ever heard of an event called the Paralympics?! Would you like to know more about it? I did some research about it and the Paralympics are sports for the blind, or the physically injured people, or in other words handicapped people. The sports are Ice sledge hockey, biathlon, and cross country skiing. In Ice Sledge Hockey you have 2 goalie sticks cut in half. You can’t have useable legs to participate in this sport. You skate on one giant skate and use the spiked butt of the hockey stick. ”It’s more harder to skate on 1 skate then 2 skates” Kris Clebl thinks, “It’s more harder to scor e than you think” says Paul Rosen. In the biathlon for the blind, you have a pellet gun (pellet guns aren’t illegal in Canada) with a sensor. The closer you are to the middle of the target, the louder and faster a beeping noise gets to let the person know they’re close to the middle of their target. For the physically injured, you have a pellet gun with a scope and a red dot for aiming. The athlete aims and gets as close to the target as they can. At the end of the round the judges tell you how well you’ve done. And that’s all for the all for the biathlon. Now that’s all folks.
