RIO DE JANEIRO — When the Canadian women's wheelchair basketball team defeated host Brazil on Monday, Rio Olympic Arena was vibrating with volume for every basket. "To me, personally, it was the best moment in my wheelchair basketball career so far," said Arinn Young of the game versus Brazil. Several of Canada's veteran players said that this challenging draw in the quarter-finals is a testament to the world-wide talent surge in the women's game. For the first time in history the African nation of Algeria qualified a women's team for the Paralympic tournament. The women's team will now wait until Friday to see where they play a classification game to determine the final tournament rankings.
