At the Paris Paralympics, China solidified its position atop the medal table with a series of impressive gold medal performances in both athletics and swimming.
In the pool, China's Guo Jincheng, Yuan Weiyi, and Wang Lichao achieved a remarkable 1-2-3 finish in the men's 50-meters butterfly S5 final. Guo Jincheng stood out by setting a new world record in the event, completing the race in an astonishing 30.28 seconds. This victory marks Guo's fourth gold and second silver medal in Paris, further showcasing China's strength in para-swimming.
On the athletics front, Jiang Yuyan made history in the women's 400-meters freestyle S6 final by claiming her sixth gold medal in Paris with a time of five minutes and 12.07 seconds. At just 19 years old, Jiang has quickly become a standout athlete and has been honored as a co-flag bearer for China at the upcoming Closing Ceremony, alongside fellow para-athlete Di Dongdong.
China's outstanding performances at the Paris Paralympics highlight the nation's dedication to excellence and its continued support for para-athletes on the global stage.
