'Murderball', Boccia and Goalball - Paralympic sports explained
Briefly

"Due to the classification system, which splits each sport into different groups of athletes with similar impairments to ensure fair competition, the Paralympics has multiple versions - sometimes many multiples - of each event."
"The accessibility of boccia in particular has allowed athletes with severe disabilities to take part and compete for their national teams."
"Wheelchair rugby has its parallels to rugby of course, but also combines elements of basketball and handball, which is why the ball is round and not oval-shaped."
"Goalball is a fast-paced team sport of 12-minute halves where players must use their whole bodies to block shots, played exclusively by blind and visually impaired athletes."
