Also known as 'Murderball', wheelchair rugby is a relatively new sport having been invented in 1977 by a group of Canadian quadriplegic athletes who were looking for an alternative to wheelchair basketball.
Wheelchair rugby first appeared in the Paralympic Games at Atlanta in 1996, when it featured as a demonstration sport and it became a full medal Incorporating elements of basketball, handball and ice hockey, it is an intense, fast-paced sport.
