Canada 3rd in Gold medals in Athens

I just finished watching something i thouhgt id never see, Canada winning an olympic gold medal in basketball while USA got 7th. now before you all think i spent the night on Whyte or i just woke up after a dream. It is true. It is a little know (and watched) thing called the paralympics. And canada dominated the entire world and took home gold in wheelchair basketball for the second straight olympics. From what i saw of the paralympics, canada was a force to be reckoned with. i also would like to say that i am impressed with all the paralympic athletes. For example, high jump. I want you all to try this. Hop on one leg for like 10 feetish then see how high of a bar you can jump over. try like 1.77 meters (about head height). It is one of the most increadable things. So i saw some clips of this handball like sport in which 3 people on a team on about a tennis court sized court. with soccer nets on both ends the width of the court. the people would roll the ball and try to score while the other team would sprawl out and try to block it. it looked interesting and now i know what it is called Goalball. And i found out an even more interesting thing about it. It is for blind or visionally impared athletes. WOW. i never knew there were blind athletes in the paralympics. Ya so if you ever want to see, sitting volleyball, wheelchair rugby and fencing, goalball, or wheelchair tennis, check out the paralympics.
