‘Nervous energy’ for Canadian athletes balancing stress, excitement with Paris Paralympics 100 days away

Sitting in his wheelchair with his mouth open and wearing a red and black jersey, a Canadian men's rugby player holds out his right hand to receive a pass during game action at the 2023 Parapan Am Games in Santiago, Chile.

Travis Murao calls it “crunch time” and his favourite time of the year. The wheelchair rugby player and several of his Canadian teammates are feeling the excitement, stress and other emotions with the start of the Paris Paralympics in 100 days on Aug. 28.
