    3- What event most intrigued you and why?

    1. paralympics is the olympics for people who are disabled physically
    2. paralympics is the same as the typical olympics because they both have many athletic competions
    3. the event that intrigued me most was either goalball or running. goalball because its so cool that they are blind but still playing this competitive sport. and running because a lot of them have prosthetic legs and that seems like it would be really hard -kinsey

  2. 1- What is it?
    Paralympics is like Olympics but the people competing in it have some kind of disability. Whether they are missing a limb or if thier blind, it is all apart of the paralympics.
    2- How is it the same as the typical Olympics?
    Most of the same games are played but they are just modified some and it is still just as important as the Olympics.
    3- What event most intrigued you and why?
    I think seated volleyball intrigued me the most because I used to play volleyball and I think that it is really cool that people that have love for the sport but just can't play as easily, have the same chance we do to play.

  3. 1. An international athletic competition for athletes who are physically disabled.

    2. they both are competitions including people who have diabilities.

    3. the even that intrigued me the most was goalball, because people that can't even see are blocking the ball from going into the net. i would never be able to do that.

    2. They do all the same types of sports and have all of the same sports the rules are just a little bit differant depending on the sport.
    3.the sport that most intregued me was volleyball. i didnt know u could make serves and passes from of the ground. i also liked the gallball sport. you have to have alot of patiens and good hearing to play that sport.

  6. Paralympics is kind of like the special olympics but the paralympics focuses more on athelethe’s with physical disabilities.
    It’s the same as typical Olympics because, it’s athlethe’s that are compete for a medal that they’ve been training for.
    What most intrigueded me and amazed me was the compitions they do even with their dissabilities. I know I couldn’t do like half the things they do.
