What’s Goalball?
Goalball is a Paralympic sport designed for athletes with visual impairments. It is a team sport played by two teams of three players each, and the objective is to score goals by throwing a ball into the opponent’s net while defending your own goal. The unique aspect of goalball is that the ball contains bells, and players rely on their sense of hearing to track the ball’s movement.
