Parapan Am Games: Fun facts from our field reporters

Each day our Parapan Am Games field reporters Jacqueline Doorey and Caroline Calve will go behind the scenes and reveal new and cool things they've learned.

Here's what Jackie and Caro found out Monday:

1. Canada's wheelchair rugby coach Kevin Orr actually used to coach the United States wheelchair rugby team. Ever watch Murderball? The coach was Orr - on the American side. Orr will face his old team Wednesday night when Canada plays the States at 8:00 p.m. ET. 

2. Canada's powerlifter Dylan Sparks is trained by his mom, Tracey Rice, who lifts weights, too. She started training in 2007, lifting weights to be physically capable to help her son, a growing boy and now teenager at 17.

3. To grow the sport, the American women's sitting volleyball team took Canada's women players under their wing and helped their neibours to the north develop players. Women sitting volleyball made its debut at the 2004 Paralympics and the American women's team has been on the podium every ensuing Paralympic Games.
