Yu Qimin was born in 1978. When he was 8 years old, he accidentally broke his left leg by a machine and amputated his centimeter, becoming a disabled child. In order to prevent leg atrophy, during the summer vacation of the second year, his father, Yu Xinsen, who likes sports, handed him over to Zheng Zhifu, the swimming coach of the Putuo District Junior Sports School, hoping to enhance his physical fitness and maintain his health through sports.
Yu Qimin showed good swimming quality during the training process, and his physical disability further stimulated his fighting spirit, and he walked from Shenjiamen No. 1 Primary School to the swimming pool every day to train. Along the way, the new flesh at the amputated part was ground out by the prosthesis, and after more than an hour of soaking in the pool water, the wound hurt like a pinprick, but he never said a word. For a while, the Junior Sports Varsity swimming team was changed to a finswimming team, because there was only one swimming pool, and Yu Qimin could only train in the same pool with the members of the finswimming team.
Due to the different swimming speeds, Yu Qimin was repeatedly injured and scratched by the fins of the swimmers, and was often covered in injuries. But he gritted his teeth and persevered, never thinking of giving up.
Hard work pays off. In the second year of training, Yu Qimin, who was only 10 years old, beat many adults in the provincial para swimming competition held in Zhoushan, and won the third place. Since then, he has won many awards at the Provincial Games for the Disabled.
In 1997, he won first place in the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyle at the National Para Swimming Championships, and has since won first place in these two events four times. In 2002, at the Far East and South Pacific Games in Busan, South Korea, he won gold medals in the 4,100m freestyle, silver medals in the 50m and 100m freestyle, and bronze gold medals in the 200m medley. In 2004, he won a bronze medal in the S34 4 100m relay freestyle at the 12th Athens Paralympic Games as the city's first Paralympic athlete to be selected for the Paralympic Games.

Compared with the national attention of the previous Winter Olympics, everyone's attention to the Winter Paralympics seems to be not so much. There is a saying on the Internet: "The Olympic Games select the strongest human body, and the Paralympic Games select the most indomitable soul."
The athletes of the Paralympic Winter Games have been using their tenacious spirit to fight against fate and challenge themselves. Their touching stories are worthy of all of us to learn from, and deserve all the applause and admiration.
On the evening of March 8, the Paralympic biathlon men's middle distance (standing) final award ceremony was held at the Zhangjiakou Award Square, standing on the stage ** The champion of the event - Canadian athlete Mark Arends. He only has one hand. Just as the host announced the runner-up and third-place winners, Arenz gently slapped his thigh with the only one to "applaud" his opponent.
This scene touched everyone present.
At the award ceremony that night, Alenz sent the most touching blessing to Vovchensky - when the Ukrainian athlete received the medal and flowers from the guests, accompanied by applause, Alenz also gently patted his thigh with his right hand: if you can't applaud, just send congratulations in this way. It is such a simple act, which in the eyes of us ordinary people seems to be an easy gesture of applause, but here in Mark Arendz it is an unattainable dream.
But his most sincere blessings were expressed as affectionately as his body movements, touching countless netizens.
The Zhangjiakou Awards Square on March 9 was still full of warmth. Austrian athlete Karina Edlinger, who won the Visually Impaired category, took the stage at the Paralympic Cross-Country Skiing Women's Sprint (Freestyle) - Visually Impaired Championship with guide Lorenz Josef Rampel. Joining them on the top podium was a "supernumerary" - Edlinger's guide dog, a Labrador named Riley.
During the award ceremony, Edlinger's guide dog Riley also seemed to feel the breath of the gold medal. When the presenters presented the medal to her owner, Edlinger, she also leaned forward to smell it, and the cute appearance attracted other athletes to come forward and touch it. In the group photo session, Edlinger deliberately hugged Riley high so that she could also feel the glory of the championship.
Sports training is hard and boring, and Edlinger has such a silent companion, which makes people feel that although they are unlucky, they are extremely lucky, and they are fortunate to have such a lovely and heartwarming partner.
In the Beijing Winter Paralympics, the Chinese delegation led the gold medal double list, and behind the honor was countless sweat and dedication. The Olympic and Paralympic competitions are still going on, and those touching stories are shocking, and I hope that the Winter Paralympic athletes will continue to work hard and continue to break through themselves.

Dutoit was once the most talented swimmer in South Africa. At Sydney 2000, at the age of 16, she reached the finals of the Olympic qualifying tournaments in three events. But fate played a big joke on her, and bad luck struck seven years ago.
In February 2001, her left leg was amputated after a traffic accident. When Dutoit was riding home from training, he was passing a parking lot and colliding with a reversing sports car, "blood everywhere, like ripe tomatoes falling to the ground." Dutoitt was later amputated below the knee in her left leg, and the women's medley hope, who missed out on the Sydney Olympics in 2000 by a fraction of a second, became a handicapped man in an instant.
Just three months later, Dutoit returned to the pool and began to learn to swim on one leg, but when she swam breaststroke, she found herself either spinning in the water or hitting the pool wall with too much force, and soon Dutoit decided to abandon the medley and focus on long-distance swimming that did not require much leg action, and a year later Dutoit reached the women's 800m freestyle final at the Commonwealth Games; In May 2008, she won the fourth place in the women's 10km marathon swimming at the World Championships and swam to the Beijing Olympics in one fell swoop.
