2010 paralympic games




















Canadians felt a great national pride in the achievements of their athletes at these Paralympic Games. The sport is for non ambulant athletes or those who can only walk short distances. It is played on the same ice, with the same rocks, as regular curling and is governed by the same rules.

Athletes use a metal sled on two skate blades and use two shortened version of hockey sticks with metal teeth on the end to propel themselves.

Today all five events of downhill, Super-G, slalom, giant slalom and Super combined are held. Paraplegic athletes compete in the sitting category. A sit-ski has a moulded fibreglass body on a mono ski and the athlete uses outriggers instead of poles. The rules are the same as with any alpine ski race, the fastest time wins. Some of the athletes such as single-leg amputees who ski without a prosthesis use special poles called outriggers.

These poles help the skier with balance. A guide is mandatory and the competitor and guide act as a team. The guide will direct the blind skier down the course by skiing in front and using only voice signals or radio communication.

No physical contact is allowed during the race. This is an event where trust in your partner is paramount. The electronical rifle allows aiming by hearing.
