Synopsis

This page shows a goalball court, a goalball, a pair of light-blocking eyeshades and a player rolling a ball. Each image has a dashed line image.Goalball court (left)At the top of the image is a heavy dashed line representing the back of the goal, which stretches across the full width of the court. Slightly down the page is the goal line with goalposts, marked by small circles, to the left and right. Further down are the three players in the team area, shown as crosses (the opposing team down the page are shown as dots). Down again a horizontal line marks the start of the landing area, and another line, called the high ball line, marks the start of the neutral area, which extends down to the heavy horizontal centre line. The lines in the top half of the court are repeated in the bottom half of the court, but the other way around. Goalball (top centre)This is an image of a goalball. It is made from blue rubber and has two bells inside it. There are four holes (shown as small clear circles) on opposite hemispheres to allow the sound of the bells to be heard. It has distinctive lines radiating from a circle in the centre. Light-blocking eyeshades (top right)These eyeshades are seen from the front. Their opaque lens is in the middle of the image. The headband curves round to the top of the image from either side, with a buckle on the one on the left.Goalball player rolling a ball (bottom right)This image shows a goalball player, seen from the side, on the right of the page and a ball on the left.The player's head is at the top of the image facing to the left. He is wearing eyeshades. His body, clothed in a t-shirt, is down the page and he has his arms extending to the right and left with protective pads on his elbows. His legs, further down the page, stretch out to the right and left.
