Located next to the ancient town of Tangqi, there is a special group of people, who choose to fight by ear and listen to the sound of voices. This is an Olympic sport. Have you guessed it yet? This time we will take you on a Scouting for blind goalball.
Shh, please keep the floor quiet. Speaking of blind goalball, the sport is designed for athletes with visual disabilities. With the blindfold on, they can only hear the direction and speed of the ball. Their ears are their eyes. Every throw and punt is an explosion of skill in silence, and "winning" is what the athletes are striving for.
Everywhere you go in the venue, there is an automated voice announcement system. In addition, the lounges, medical rooms, field of play and other areas are equipped with blindsidewalks. There are even rest areas for guide dogs. The visually impaired athletes' needs are taken into account. So, this is the China Goalball Training Base and it is also an "achievement in sports" delivered by Linping.
Hangzhou takes advantage of Asian Games to creating a barrier-free city. A small, heart-warming detail can integrate people with disabilities into the Asian Games, and the city of Hangzhou to feel the kindness and warmth of the city.
All these caring details demonstrate that Hangzhou has achieved respect and equality to create a new Hangzhou, showing the world the warmth of Hangzhou with love and 'barrier-free'.
