Description

The Paralympics are underway in London and yesterday, the USA beat Sweden 5-1 in the preliminary rounds of Goalball.


Goalball, for blind and visually impaired athletes, is played three on three. Athletes try to throw the ball into the opponent's goal while defending their own. The sport was invented in 1946 for blind veterans returning from WWII.


Jennifer Armbruster, a Paralympic athlete from Colorado Springs, is competing in London as part of the USA goalball team.
