Canada Day - Trafalgar Square

[Chas]

The Canadians had brought their paralympian women's basketball team to raise awareness. And boy did they ever! They split into two teams for an exhibition match.



They were fast and they were vicious and no quarter was given and none was expected. No. 5 in the picture was squeezed and shunted and ended up on her back. It looked to me as if she was an upturned turtle and was stuck. The referee announced that she had two minutes to right HERSELF otherwise points would be deducted. The match carried on. Less than 30 seconds was all it took and she was back in the fray.

These two arrived and and seemed to be waiting for something - why and what, I have no idea - but they seemed quirky.





Finally, is the shirts. There must have been 500 different types of T shirts. Here are just some of them.



More shirts to come
