摘要

ALTHOUGH it's called "wheelchair rugby" or "quad rugby" - it's played by quadriplegic athletes in wheelchairs -neither term really captures the sport's speed or intensity as does its original name: murderball. Nor do the athletes fit the stereotypical image of quadriplegics, and their chairs bear only a passing resemblance to standard wheelchairs. This, as the name "murderball" implies, is a tough sport. The rugby chairs are specialized pieces of sporting equipment, designed to withstand full-speed, violent collisions; some are designed with special pickers in the front to hook an opponent's wheelchair, which is in turn designed with wings to prevent this.
