Anyone seen this ?

Talk about 'contact sport' :yikes:

I watched Team GB v USA. Wow, this has go to be the most aggressive, brutal, no holds-barred and fierce sport ever.
No wonder it's so popular and no wonder the venue (basketball arena) was totally packed out.

Aggresive contact between chairs is not only allowed, it is positively encouraged.

Unfortunately Team GB lost by 56-44 but it was a really exciting game. Basketball Arena.

Just watch this very short video clip. Would you take part in this??

Loved it. They said this was one of the first events to be completely sold out. I can see why.

Me too, really got into it and loved it.
Funny thing is that you soon forget these folks have a disability and just marvel at their ability.

My first time to watch it.:xxgrinning--00xx3:
