Boccia is a sport that belongs to the same family of sports as lawn bowls. The rules and field of play for Goalball involve putting a ball into the opponents goal.
What marks out these two sports, along with a variant of rugby, with respect to this year's Olympic Games?
[+ Show Answer]
These three sports (the third being wheelchair rugby) are included in the 2012 Paralympics (being held in London along with the Summer Olympics). They are the only three sports that
are exclusive to the Paralympics and do not have equivalents in the regular Olympics. (Though it could be argued that Powerlifting, which
is in the Paralympics, is not strictly represented in the Olympics).
