Goalball

    Crowds watch this sport in complete silence as players try to roll a ball into opposing team's goal. The players all have impaired vision, so they play by listening for bells that are inside the ball. All players are required to wear eyeshades so that those with some vision don't have an advantage.

The Athletes

These athletes have a variety of disbilities, which they were born with or acquired through sickness or injury. But in the face of difficult circumstances, they all show amazing determination not only to survive but also to master their sports.
