Some Paralympic Sports Are Truly Epic

You probably think the Paralympics are about wheelchair basketball, but the first few days of competition offered some pretty unusual sports that you might be surprised by. Goalball is like a cross between water polo (without the water) and handball, played between teams who wear eye shades to completely block their sight. Wheelchair rugby, perhaps the most epic Paralympic sport, is also the only one that allows full contact between the wheelchairs.

If you are not watching some of these sports, I highly recommend it, just to broaden your perspective on what sports can be.
