CUAUTITLAN IZCALLI, Mexico -- Salvador Espinoza spends his days in a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down. When he mounts his horse and tightens the back brace that helps him keep upright in the saddle, he transforms into a charro, or Mexican cowboy.In the traditional Mexican sport of charreria, this countrys version of rodeo, they say you have to be agile, tough and brave.For Espinoza and other members of the Mexican Association of Paracharreria and Equestrian Therapy, it also means overcoming conditions such as amputations, partial blindness, deafness or paralysis while competing in the same daredevil events as their more able-bodied peers: lassoing, horse-reining, bull-riding and others.Espinoza needs help mounting the horse and doesnt rely on the traditional stirrups attached to the saddle. But once on horseback, hes a skilled equestrian and a fearless competitor.This is where I have learned that athletes in wheelchairs have no limits, said Espinoza, who lost use of his legs 16 years ago when he fell from a four-story building while installing air conditioners. The only limit is the one people give themselves.The association was founded in 2010 as part of the Mexican Federation of Charreria, with the stated mission of combating discrimination against people with disabilities and helping integrate them through the national sport.There is no other organization that has done this before us, said Norma Angelica Patino Marquez, a doctor specializing in sports medicine who is also president of the paracharreria association, a team comprising 26 members from seven states in Mexico.In fact we invented everything, including the rules and system of medical-functional classification like they have in international paralympic sports, Patino said.The first charreada, or team-competition rodeo, featuring people with disabilities tk place in November 2011 as part of the cultural events of the Parapan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. In another first, the opening ceremony included a wheelchair performance of the jarabe tapatio, the folkloric tradition known abroad as the Mexican hat dance.During a recent charreada in Cuautitlan Izcalli, outside the Mexican capital, Espinoza and four other members of Patinos team competed in all nine rodeo events at a 2,000-seat arena.Clad in a close-fitting suit, bts and wide-brim sombrero, Espinoza expertly lassoed a wild mare after missing a few times. Later he broke out in a broad grin as the crowd roared its approval of a roping performance in which he and his teammates brought down a small bull. At a charreada, teams go head-to-head in events that are judged not by time but by poise and execution.Espinoza and his wife, Graciela Sanchez Martinez, who met more than 10 years ago at a wheelchair basketball tournament, have performed in over a dozen charreadas and form the only married couple in the Patino paracharreria team. Sanchez Martinez was diagnosed at age 2 with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a nerve disorder that can cause muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.Charreria holds many Mexican traditions: the music, the outfits, the people, Sanchez Martinez said. And the fact that I am Mexican, its part of my traditions, my rts and my taste.At the recent charreada, Sanchez Martinez represented the team as the Queen of Paracharreria.Sanchez Martinez said she and her husband have lost count of how many times theyve fallen during competition, and she joked that paracharreria actually involves a 10th event -- trying to stay on the horse.It is a sensation that you cant explain, said team captain Juan Manuel Garcia, who survived a stroke and seven-month coma that left him with muscular weakness on the right side of his body, total loss of mobility in his right leg and three amputated fingers. Now it is gratifying, now it is something motivating, to know that I can dominate any animal.Cheap Balenciaga Sneakers Uk .

Its an influence in ftball and a big part of the game.OAKLAND, Calif. -- For the past few years, the Oakland Raiders have been building a team they hoped could thrive on the big stage.With an offensive line that dominated the trenches and a defense much improved from a porous start to the season, they sure lked the part Sunday night.Latavius Murray ran for 114 yards and three touchdowns and the Raiders showed they were ready for prime time, beating the defending Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos 30-20.Were growing to expect success, coach Jack Del Rio said. We know were a gd team.In what was being billed as the biggest game in Oakland since the team went to the Super Bowl following the 2002 season, the Raiders (7-2) put together a complete effort to overpower the Broncos (6-3) and take over sole possession of first place in the AFC West.Derek Carr threw for 184 yards and did not turn the ball over, Khalil Mack had two sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery and the Raiders outrushed Denver 218-33 behind a dominant performance in the trenches.Thats what we do, left tackle Donald Penn said. We try to take our will out on people and today it lked real gd. Some days it doesnt but today it lked real gd. We have to keep building. We have to get more consistent.The performance was to the delight of an energetic crowd at the Coliseum, excited to host a prime-time Sunday night game for the first time in more than a decade. After 13 straight seasons without a playoff berth or winning record, the Raiders have shown they are ready to contend in the AFC in the second season under Del Rio after overpowering the team that has dominated the division in recent years.We gave up 200 yards rushing today, linebacker Brandon Marshall said. Thats definitely not the mark of a great defense, we cant just get run over.Oakland got off to its best start in 15 years by beating up on lesser teams, but the win over the defending champion Broncos showed the progress the franchise has made since starting 0-10 two years ago.Trevor Siemian lked shaky at times for Denver but did throw two touchdown passes, including a short pass behind the line that Kapri Bibbs turned into a 69-yard touchdown catch and run in the fourth quarter.ddddddddddddBut Oakland still led by 10 points despite that defensive breakdown and held on for the win.REPRIEVE: Carr played a smart game for the most part but did get bailed out by one potential big mistake. On the play after Mack recovered a fumble at the Denver 39 following his strip sack , Carr threw down the right sideline for fullback Jamize Olawale. But the ball went right to T.J. Ward for an apparent interception. A replay review showed the ball hit the ground and Oakland kept the ball, setting up Murrays third score.TONE SETTERS: The Raiders much-maligned defense started fast, forcing Denver into four straight three-and-outs to open the game. It was the first time since 2012 that Oakland didnt allow the opponent to record a first down on the opening four drives. Siemian started the game 1 for 8 for 4 yards before connecting on four straight completions on the fifth drive capped by a 36-yard TD pass to Jordan Norwd.FAST START: Oaklands offense also started quickly. Carr threw for 108 yards in the opening quarter -- the second most against Denver in the first quarter in the past three years -- and Murray scored on two short TD runs in the second quarter for a 20-10 halftime lead. That was the most points scored against the Broncos in the first half since Cincinnati also had 20 in a 37-28 win on Dec. 22, 2014 -- a span of 29 games including the playoffs.DANCING PUNTER: Oaklands Marquette King had two straight punts in the third quarter downed at the 2 by Andre Holmes. King then punctuated each with a celebratory dance not usually seen from punters. In a season full of excessive celebration flags, King was not penalized on either dance.I just love life, King said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
