Paralympic Games
2016 Rio de Janeiro The team competed in the 2016 Summer Paralympics, with competition from Thursday 8 September to finals on Friday 16 September 2016, in the temporary Future Arena, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Algerian women's team did not show up in time for its matches against the United States or Israel. The team missed connecting flights in Rome after setting out from a training camp in Poland. There were suspicions of a boycott. The International Paralympic Committee's spokesman, Craig Spence, said: "They are still sticking to their story that they suffered the worst transport issues known to man. Whether we believe it is a question mark and we are looking into it." Their first two games were recorded as 10–0 walkover wins for the other team. Team captain Elham Mahamid Ruzin, who has the eye disease achromatopsia, is married to the Israel men's national goalball team captain, Michael Ruzin. ;Round-robin ---- ---- ---- == World Championships ==
