Nearby London Paralympic Test Event: Wheelchair Rugby

 
 
 
Wheelchair Rugby is, hands down, one of the most thrilling, aggressive and intense of Paralympic Sports - a sport that blends Wheelchair Basketball, Ice Hockey and Handball, and one that's so physical it used to be tagged 'Murderball' by its players. This two-day Wheelchair Rugby Test Event is part of the London Prepares series ahead of the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics. Preceded by one day of training, the event will be staged at the new Basketball Arena in the London 2012 Olympic Park in Stratford - the same venue for the real Paralympic event in September.
