Team USA starter stærkt ved Paralympics 2024 i Paris – læs mere om de seje præstationer!

De 2024 Paralympiske Lege i Paris er skudt i gang, og Team USA's herrer i rullestolsbasketball markerer sig allerede med bravur. Steve Serio, der for nylig har fået hæder for at bære det amerikanske flag ved åbningsceremonien, udmærkede sig ved at score 12 point, tage 11 rebounds og assistere med 12 passninger i deres første kamp mod Spanien. Med en solid sejr på 66-56 satte de tonen for, hvad der tegner til at blive en spektakulær turnering.

Men det er ikke kun USA, der gør bølger! Great Britain har også haft deres debut i rullestolsbasketballturneringen, hvor Gregg Warburton førte holdet til en sejr med 76-55 over Tyskland. Warburton viste sig som en sand stjerne, og han er klar til at påtage sig rollen som skurk i den kommende kamp mod værtslandet Frankrig. Det er altid spændende at se rivaliseringen udfolde sig, især når det er på så stor en scene.

Der sker også spændende ting i Canada, hvor Nik Goncin og Garrett Ostepchuk forbereder sig på endnu en turnering som Paralympiske holdkammerater. De har en lang historie sammen og har spillet i flere år, hvilket giver dem en unik kemi på banen. Det bliver fantastisk at følge deres rejse mod medaljer i Paris.

I Sherwood Park mærker man også spændingen, da lokale atleter gør sig klar til at vise deres talents på den internationale scene. Det er en tid fuld af håb og forventning, da hver spiller har drømmen om at bringe ære til deres land.

Vidste du, at rullestolsbasketball blev introduceret til de Paralympiske Lege i 1960? Det har siden udviklet sig til at blive en af de mest populære sportsgrene ved legene! Og endnu mere imponerende er, at USA har vundet den mest medaljer i denne disciplin, hvilket viser styrken og dedikationen i holdet. Hvem vil ikke root for bedste venner og helte på banen?
