They are winners whatever result is after the game. Big RESPECT!

[@dite6s9mora73]

+siemenssx1 I think he meant to say they are both winners not in regard to the game but for what they are doing as people with such difficulties and still not giving up even though many others in their condition would.

i‘m egyption and proud for both ,they are sent message to the world that disability is not in body but in thinking ..respect

[@sangnp8506]

My god. Cant believe it, he played this game by neck and mouth. Omg ,god bless him.. wow he's legend absolutely 👍👍👍

[@snyez]

His legs too. Without hand, he has to move lot more and faster.

[@woochitelj]

To people saying 'it's unfair, the other guy's playing with hand', guys, that's not important. For each of them it's important only to be able to compete and to do their maximum. Those both guys are amazing and they should be proud of what they managed to achieve! Bravo, gentlemen, BRAVO!

[@tycoulter1541]

daweedian84 Also, The athletes are evaluated before the Paralympics and are classified. So even though they aren’t competing against people with the exact same disabilities, they are competing with people who have a similar level of impairment, so that’s what makes it fair.

[@abdallahazzam6410]

imagine serving with your leg ? not fair for the egyptian atall

[@woochitelj]

@@abdallahazzam6410 Yes, you are exactly one of those people that are missing the point of Para-Olympics! If you go and read my comment few times you might be able to understand what's it all about.

[@abdallahazzam6410]

@@woochitelj i already read it sir , you just made acomparison between the two guys and you reached that they are almost in the same level, i think the egyptian is unique and much respect for them both

[@woochitelj]

@@abdallahazzam6410 I think both of them are unique in their own way but that's not the point. The fact that they are competing against eachother and that both of them are giving their best and in that way showing respect to each other is the most important thing, not the fact who has bigger disability.

For everybody that is saying this was unfair, where exactly would you find another player without both hands?

[@cramyt]

yes and to be fair the german is missing an arm, a lot of mobility in his legs and his left hand is completely malformed. the committee pairs them so their disadvantages are as similar as possible

The shot at 11:30 is great. I'm not sure why it went to the German though, the ref raised his arm. Maybe it had slightly hit Hamadtou's side a 2nd time.

not unfair as some say. each player is disabled in some way. Ibrahim is probably only player in world with no hands, so it would be hard to fit him in any category. much respect to all the players. very inspiring.

yes I think the german is the second most disabled, they normally pair them like this. he is missing an arm, can’t bend his legs and his left hand is missing many fingers
