Israel’s women’s goalball team beats Canada 5-1 in the quarterfinal at the 2024 Paris Paralympics, advancing to tomorrow’s semifinals.
Israel will face a rematch against China in the semifinal game tomorrow, after losing 1-6 to the team in an earlier round. If Israel’s six-woman team pulls out a win in the semifinal, it will be guaranteed a silver or gold medal. If it loses, it will advance to the bronze medal match on Thursday.
Goalball is a team sport played by those with visual impairments, in which athletes throw and attempt to block a ball with bells embedded inside.
Elsewhere in Paris, swimmer Ami Dadaon — who has already won two medals at the Paralympic Games — will compete in the men’s 200m freestyle in the S4 disability category, after he advanced to the final this morning with a first-place finish. Dadaon holds the world record in the event, which he set at the Tokyo Games.
Fellow Israeli swimmers Ariel Malyar and Veronika Guirenko failed to advance to their finals after competing earlier today.
