There are victories and defeats on the field, and there are no regrets in the struggle. The contestants competed with confidence and finished the race with smiles. Beyond the limitations of their bodies, the moment they step onto the field, they are already the winners. For the rest of the time, just immerse yourself wholeheartedly, enjoy the game, and experience the charm and fun of sports. On December 10th, in the women's 400m T53 level final of the Paralympic Games, Hebei athlete Zhou Hongzhuan won the championship. After the competition, she remained immersed in the wonderful state of lightning speed. Zhou Hongzhuan is a veteran track and field athlete who has competed in the Paralympic Games five times and has won three Paralympic Games championships. To this day, at the age of 37, she has been racing on the wheelchair track for 21 years. Due to health reasons, she had thoughts of retiring while preparing for the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games, but ultimately couldn't let go of this track. I started training at the age of 16, and this wheelchair is like my own legs, getting faster and faster as I run. I like this sense of speed. ”Zhou Hongzhuan said, "Sports have completely changed my life. After being exposed to sports, I became cheerful, confident, and braver through participating in competitions." For many disabled people, engaging in sports not only brings honor, but also creates a healthy and positive living state, benefiting them for life. Gao Yanming, a table tennis player from Chongqing team in TT2 group of the Paralympic Games, is 61 years old, which is a rare age among the participating players. However, he still stated that he has "no plans to retire yet". Table tennis has been of great help to me, whether in terms of physical recovery or other aspects, I have gained a lot. It has become an important part of my life. I won't let go of table tennis whether I play or not in the future. ”In Gao Yanming's view, exercise has brought about a revolutionary change in his life as a severely disabled person. At the beginning, I needed someone else to take care of everything, but now I can completely take care of myself and learn how to drive. I drove alone from Liaoning for this competition, "Gao Yanming proudly said. It is worth mentioning that this year's Special Olympics also set a heartwarming detail - in addition to the champion, runner up, and third place winner, other athletes will also receive ribbons. This arrangement is to ensure that all participating athletes can stand on the podium and experience the joy brought by sports, embodying the concept of "participation is the key" in the Special Olympics. On the field, competitive sports are diverse and exciting; Outside the arena, mass sports for disabled people are thriving. The China Disabled Persons' Federation insists on holding national mass sports brand activities such as "National Special Olympics Day" and "Disabled Fitness Week" every year, leading the popularization and development of sports and fitness for disabled people. It also supports and encourages various regions and social organizations to cultivate and develop distinctive mass sports projects and brand events for disabled people. Nowadays, more and more disabled people are stepping out of their homes to exercise, strengthen their bodies, and enjoy their physical and mental health. In Beijing, there is an active blind running team called "He Yajun Blind Aid Team" in the Olympic Forest Park. There are over 600 visually impaired running enthusiasts and more than 2000 volunteers in the group. A nylon guide rope connects volunteers and runners. Under the gentle guidance of volunteers, visually impaired people enjoy running to their heart's content. In Hangzhou, Zhejiang, there is a fully accessible sports venue called Hezhuang Cultural and Sports Center. The Hezhuang Cultural and Sports Center has set up a series of accessible cultural and sports facilities in the gymnasium, swimming pool, and cultural and sports center, where many disabled people come to enjoy sports. In Guangzhou, Guangdong, on the basketball court of the Second Youth Palace, children with intellectual and mental disabilities receive rehabilitation training by learning to play basketball. Sports have laid a social and physical foundation for them, as well as prepared them for better integration into society. The National Paralympic Games is not just a sports event, but also a new starting point for millions of disabled people to participate in sports and fall in love with them. From happiness to confidence, and then to forming a healthy lifestyle and integrating into society, the humanistic warmth conveyed by the Paralympic Games will continue to be released, inspiring people for a long time.
