Athlete of the paralympics? This…was Dream Chaser? Kneeling to reward evaluation votes!
"Athletes from the paralympics?"
After hearing the host's introduction, Su Chen, who was backstage, was surprised.
At this moment, he was also focused on the screen.
The door on the stage slowly opened.
A young man in his twenties walked out from behind the door.
His body was very strange and gave people a very awkward feeling.
Because he did not have a right arm at all, his entire body came to an abrupt stop from his shoulder.
His right arm was left with only a large part of his arm, and there was only a piece of smooth skin on his elbow. His forearm and hands were completely gone.
But it was such a disabled person.
He was a swimmer who had won ten gold medals in the paralympics.
He was the first dream chaser of Young Speaker, Xu Daqing.
"Hello everyone, I am Xu Daqing, a swimmer.”
Xu Daqing stood in the center of the stage and introduced himself shyly.
However, when he saw this scene.
Everyone in the audience, including Su Chen, who was sitting in the lounge, widened their eyes in disbelief.
They did not expect that the first Dream Chaser invited by the program team would be such a heavyweight.
He looked to be in his twenties.
However, he had repeatedly won the world gold medal in the swimming events of the paralympics.
The audience couldn't figure it out no matter what.
How did he do it?
Anyone who had learned how to swim knew that the arm was very important in swimming.
No matter if you were swimming breaststroke, butterfly, or freestyle, you couldn't do it without the coordination of your hands.
But now, they looked at the shy young man on the stage and were a little speechless.
He could swim without his hands?
"Hello, Xu Daqing."
The female host stepped forward and stood beside him.
"First, tell everyone what kind of results you have obtained.”
Hearing this question, the originally shy him revealed a confident smile and said proudly.
"I've participated in four paralympics and won a total of ten gold medals. My best performance was probably at the 2016 Rio Olympics. I won the men's S6 50m butterfly in 28.89 seconds, breaking the world record.”
It could be seen that he was also a very shy person in life.
However, when he mentioned swimming, he suddenly became cheerful. To him, swimming was his entire life and his greatest pride.
It could be said that he lived for this.
Every gold medal and record was a medal for him to fight against fate.
After hearing Xu Daqing's words.
The audience was in an uproar.
50m butterfly, 28.89 seconds! What kind of concept was this!
Anyone who knew about swimming knew how terrifying it was.
In layman's terms.
For able-bodied people, the standard time for second-class athletes was 32.5 seconds, while for first-class athletes, it was 27 seconds.
Xu Daqing was missing two arms.
His results were comparable to that of a national first-class athlete!
Even though the host had known about this beforehand, when he heard the results, his expression was still very shocked. He looked at the other party with admiration.
"Then how did you start swimming after losing your hands?”
A shy smile appeared on Xu Daqing's face again.
"When I was seven years old, my mother took me to buy artificial limbs. The person in charge of the factory was also a disabled person. At the same time, he was also the champion of table tennis for the disabled.”
"He asked me what sport I liked the most. I said I liked bathing, and then I came into contact with and learned to swim.”
In his words, everything was so natural.
It was as if this was how it should be.
However, it was not easy for ordinary people to learn how to swim.
Not to mention a child who had lost both hands.
How much effort he had put in and how much time he had spent, only he himself knew.
Next was Xu Daqing's speech.
He stood in the center of the stage, very shy and nervous. He stuttered as he told her about his pursuit of his dream.
That year, Xu Daqing, who was seven years old, came to the pool.
He looked at the deep water in front of him, as if a giant beast had opened its mouth to swallow him.
Xu Daqing retreated. He didn't dare to go down.
However, with the constant encouragement of his mother and coach, he finally took the first step bravely.
Other children might hold onto the floating board when they first entered the water and use their hands to paddle forward.
However, he had no hands, so he couldn't hold the floating board.
The coach could only tie the board to his waist and take him to slowly adapt to the pool.
Without his hands, he could only rely on his feet to kick the water to provide power.
Without hands, it meant that his head was light and his feet were heavy. If he was not careful, he would choke on a large mouthful of water.
Things that were easy for a healthy person were as difficult as ascending to the heavens for him.
Just like that.
He kept practicing and choking on water.
After crying countless times, he finally learned how to swim.
When he was able to move freely in the water like a fish, Xu Daqing had a dream and pursuit in life.
That was to win a gold medal in the paralympics!
......
During his speech.
The scene was silent.
Everyone listened quietly, trying to feel the complete soul under the broken body.
Losing his hands was a setback that could make people lose hope in life, but it didn't seem worth mentioning to him.
Even though his body was incomplete, his soul was more complete than many people.
"Is this the Dream Chaser?"
In the lounge, Su Chen was also muttering to himself.
He looked down at the electric guitar beside him.
This " Proud Youth " was written for people like Xu Daqing.
After the contestants finished their speeches, it was time for him to go on stage.
This song was also used to encourage all the dream chasers in the world!
