Egyptian Paralympian Ibrahim Hamadtou was 10 yrs old when he lost his arms in a train accident. Now 48, he’s competing in his 2nd Paralympic Games. He tosses ball up with his foot & hits the ball with paddle secured in his mouth with astonishing precision.
Soviet hockey legends being forced to perform as trained monkeys in their dictator's live hockey circus takes a bit of a luster off the memory of those great Canada-USSR rivalries, doesn't it?
At least Canadians have been allowed to retire with dignity.
