There is a bizarre incident where an amputee athlete was given a watch and it was not accepted well by the fans. At that moment the athlete showed utmost respect to the owner and accepted the gift gracefully. However, the sponsors of the Paralympics quickly came onto the radar for such an act.

People react to this extraordinary performance

A lot of comments came in after this record-breaking swim.

He’s shaped like a torpedo

This comment refers to the shape the athlete took which increased his speed.

“Yes, it’s the same why he won’t lift the head to get air and do the whole lane underwater.

The technique it’s impressive and clever tho”

This comment explains the technique implied by the swimmer which made him faster than the rest of the other athletes.

“It’s not even that. The people who have use of their arms, do not have use of their legs. Like the guy at the bottom lane looks like he does not have use of his lower body. They’re not able to kick, and their speed is slower. I wonder if the arms have a separate category. Legs only seems like an advantage over arms only.”

This comment throws some light on the debate about some swimmers having legs while some have hands.

How long can this guy hold his breath? Sheesh! I could only see him come up for air once.

This comment reflects on the athlete keeping his head underwater for a longer period of time. It actually aided him to gain speed.

Paralympics is the category where amputee athletes can show their skill sets and make a mark for themselves. It is an opportunity for them to represent and make their country proud. Records are meant to be broken and it will be crucial to see which next athlete shatters this record. Until that time, Guo Jincheng gets to celebrate his victory as he gave everything he had to win that race.
