Today is the start of the
Paralympics in London!
My personal tip, watch
Wheelchair Rugby and Wheelchair Basketball
on TV. It is unbelievable how fast one can move in a wheelchair!!!
In February 2012, when I was in Tenerife in the wheelchair hotel “Mar y Sol”, the Swedish national team was training for wheelchair rugby, (see older blogpost with video).
I tried myself in wheelchair hockey, “Sport News II”.
During the opening ceremony I even recognized a Swedish player.
Wheelchair basketball is just power:
Frankfurt “Mainhatten Sky-Wheelers”
Sailing is of course paralympic as well!
In Mallorca there is an organization FUNDACIÓN HANDISPORT
With them a wheelchair user can go waterskiing, golfing and driving beach buggy, and even sailing.
I have tried it of course, it was a perfect day:
What would have happened when my sailing teacher (behind me in the picture) would have fallen into the water?
For the next Paralympics I still have to practice a bit.
