Last weekend, 50 gold medals and a stack of new national records lit up the final day of track & field events at China’s 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and 9th National Special Olympic Games. From distance races to relays, para athletes proved that limits are meant to be broken! 🎉
Sichuan’s Yang Chunhua raced to gold in the women’s 10,000m hearing-impaired final, crossing the line in a blistering 36:56.28 to set a new national record. Not far behind, Zhejiang’s Xu Kuantian led every lap of the men’s 10,000m hearing-impaired final and shattered the mark with a time of 29:57.35. 🏅
Meanwhile, Guangxi’s sprint star Liu Cuiqing turned heads by sweeping gold in the T11 100m, 200m, and 400m races. She capped off her epic run by anchoring the T11 mixed 4×100m relay team to victory in 47.78 seconds—four trips to the top of the podium in one meet! 💥
These performances showcase resilience, dedication, and the power of sport to inspire. Whether you’re coding your next app, hustling in a startup, or smashing personal goals, these athletes remind us that with passion and grit, we can all rewrite the record books. Ready to go for your own gold? 🙌
