[@mr.worthmoore8169]

nice

[@ziko3189]

How do travels work?

[@paralympics]

Players are not allowed to travel with the ball. They are required to throw or bounce it after every two pushes on their wheels. You can find more information about wheelchair basketball here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoO6p4uwjrCifq8 and here: www.paralympic.org/wheelchair-basketball

[@ziko3189]

Thank you, I was quite confused due to the fact that they are not walking.

[@ShnugFlug]

Does anybody know how long they can go without dribbling before its a travel?

[@paralympics]

Hi ShnugFlug. Check out this wheelchair basketball explainer video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoO6p4uwjrCifq8 Hope this helps.

So USA play Spain for gold in basketball, seems to be a recurring theme lol, the previous teo Olympics and here.

[@samuelsantanahernandez9912]

Yah lol, is like fate. I'm Spanish and I've seen more Spain VS USA games than anything else😂

[@paulinenaisubi2800]

can you compete there without being wheelchair ridden naturally?

[@skwootch578]

I wondered the same because I am disabled but can walk well enough to get around. I was told that you can compete in para-athletics as long as you aren't able to compete in standard sports.

[@alvintelin]

this is called wheelchair basketball. so basically you need it. and there are separate basketball in paralympics for those who can run and walk.

[@GamingDragonFlower]

You don't need to be in a wheelchair to play wheelchair basketball. Many players are ambulatory when not playing. You simply have to have a disability.

[@wheelix5797]

what's the matter? are their ankles broken?

Have a look at this link - it helps to explain the different eligible impairment types for wheelchair basketball: www.paralympic.org/wheelchair-basketball/classification

[@brendanmcdonald5966]

Stop it that's mean

[@robjames8884]

Paralympic Games that s dumb! I mean people that have full strength in their legs can control their bodies while sitting down much better so playing this sport is way easier than someone that can't. wheelchair basketball needs to have players with the same exact disability as everyone that is playing. being able to use your legs to help support and push up to help stabilize makes all the difference. I am a para and see this as boring and worthless with all the just sitting and blocking others from rolling. just create a perimeter around your player and let him or her just take all the time they need to shoot is what I'm seeing

[@martinc.720]

and what I'm seeing is you've never played, and probably never seen a game.

[@SupaDopex3]

Travel at 11:27

[@martinc.720]

Actually, no. Players are allowed to push twice before having to dribble. Hold the ball, push twice, dribble again. They can do that as many times as they want. A third push before dribbling again would be travelling.

[@ximopierto5362]

CUTE

I want to see a fight if theirs no fights it's not a sport

What?? What's your point?

[@samuelsantanahernandez9912]

Here in Spain we have some of the best 3 shooters all over the world. On wheelchair basketball. So don't say something if you don't know anything about it
