At the beginning of games, we have interviewed a participant LiWei, which is 17 years old boy. "I was quite motivated to see other disabled people swimming well with confidence. I tried hard to make myself stronger to prove my abilities," said Li, who finally won two bronze medals. In sports, a false start is a movement by a participant before being signaled or otherwise permitted by the rules to start. Luckily, he met his coach, Li Dongbo, at that time. He helped him build up his courage again. "When he regained his confidence, Li trained very hard and began to get good scores,"

In recent years, Chengdu government attaches great importance to disabled sports and has achieved good results.
