USAWR Pullover Hoodie

Wheelchair Rugby was invented in 1977 by a group of Canadian quadriplegic athletes who were looking for a sport that would allow players with reduced arm and hand function to participate equally. Originally known as “murderball” because of its intense physical nature, the sport’s name was changed to “quad rugby,” but it is now known internationally as wheelchair rugby. By 1993 wheelchair rugby was officially recognized as a sport for athletes with disabilities and the International Wheelchair Rugby Federation was founded. In 1994, wheelchair rugby was recognized by the International Paralympic Committee as a Paralympic sport allowing the first Wheelchair Rugby World Championships to be held in Switzerland the following year. Wheelchair Rugby then made its Paralympic debut as a demonstration event in Atlanta in 1996. It became a medal sport at the Sydney 2000 Games, where the United States won the gold medal.
