Introducing my sport Boccia - @annadeda
Hello to all my friends of Steemit!
Boccia is a sport for athletes with severe disabilities. It is a sport that requires a lot of concentration and strategy. You must have a disability that affects your movements and be in a wheelchair to play this sport. It is a Paralympic game since 1984 and is among the three Sports that doesn't exist in the Olympic Games. This sport can be played on individual level, on pairs level as well as on teams level. Each athlete, pair or team has 6 red or six blue balls and a white ball that in this sport is called Jack ( Jack is the target ball). Athletes must go under a classification system according to their disabilities to be able to compete under each category. There are four categories for this sport: The BC1 category which athletes are hands players or foot players and have an assistant who helps them with the balls. The BC2 category are clearly hands players don't have any assistant. The BC3 category which is the category I play in and it is for quadriplegic athletes who play with a ramp and a sport assistant that in my case is my mother. The BC4 category which athletes suffer mostly from muscular dystrophy they play with their hands and don't have an assistant. Boccia is played in more than 40 countries and it is a wonderful sport that I am so lucky to be part of. As a Paralympic champion and a Gold medallist World champion I must say it is one of the most smart Sports which requires a quick and sharp thinking most of all good concentration.
