The PARACYCLING.

A yellow number 4 appears.

The first narrator says, IN THE BEGINNING,
THIS VERSION OF COMPETITIVE
CYCLING WAS ONLY
FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE,
SO THEY USED A TANDEM,
WHERE THE CYCLIST IN FRONT
COULD SEE.

People are on tandem bicycles.

The second narrator says, I PUT DIBS ON THE BACKSEAT!
LET THE GUY OUT FRONT
DO THE WORK.

The first narrator says, YOU LAZY LUMP.

YOU ALSO HAVE TO BE ABLE TO
MANOEUVER YOUR CHAIR
IN EVERY DIRECTION.

The first narrator says, YOU'RE TIRING ME OUT
JUST TALKING ABOUT IT!

The second narrator says, THE TEAMS ARE FORMED
IN SUCH A WAY AS TO INCLUDE
PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT
LEVELS OF MOBILITY.
THE TEAMS MUST BE AS EQUAL

YOU SCORE A POINT.

The second narrator asks, CAN YOU IMAGINE PLAYING
FOOTBALL WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED?
HOW WOULD YOU EVEN
FIND THE BALL?

The first narrator says, GOALBALL PLAYERS LISTEN TO
THE BALL TO FIND IT.
THIS SPORT IS INTENDED
FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE,
SO THEY PUT A LITTLE BELL
INSIDE THE BALL.

The first narrator says, THE PUBLIC HAS TO STAY...
SHH!

They whisper, REALLY QUIET.

At their normal, they say, THAT WAY, THE PLAYERS CAN HEAR
THE LITTLE BELL,
BUT YOU CAN STILL CHEER
DURING GAME STOPPAGES,
OR WHEN A GOAL IS SCORED.

People whisper, WOO-HOO!

[Applause]

The first narrator says, WAIT A MINUTE,
WHY ARE WE STILL
WHISPERING?

[Cheering]
