Summer Paralympics 2012 - China Zhang Cuip won 1st Gold in Shooting

[Abii]

Great achievements from Chinese people in the paralympics. Keep those medals coming.

Awesome result. China's raping.

Have you guys noticed USA's haul?? It's **** compared to their Olympics haul and you don't hear anything about paralympics in their media (comparatively). Olympics for them is all about business. Their corporations make a ton of money from their athletes (Phelps for example). But look at the way they treat their paralympics team. Surely the govt backs the athletes up to an extent, but you don't see the vast media coverage, the insane sponsorship deals, the bigger than god portrayal of the athletes etc... and they're not doing good in the table either.

Asian countries have a different philosophy it seems. Our paralympics heroes are treated the same way as our Olympians. Screw extremist capitalism. It's no different than extreme socialism.

China embraces its 300th Paralympic gold

LONDON, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- China embraced its 300th gold in Paralympic history here on Thursday, leading the London 2012 with 70 titles.

The 300th gold, which was also China's 68th gold in London and the eighth gold taken on Thursday, was clinched by amputee Zhao Xu in the men's 100m-T46 final.

Zhao Xu, 27, who began the sport in Grade 5 at school, refreshed the 100m-T46 Paralympic record in 11.05 seconds.

"The win is a breakthrough as China never got any medal in this event before," said Zhao after the race.

Zhao also got the silver in the men's 4x100m relay-T42/T46 at the London Paralympics.

He said, "I took part in the Beijing Paralympics but did not get a medal. From then on, I vowed to practise for another four years to triumph in London 2012. Today, I made it!"

Zhao lost the use of his arms at the age of eight when he was playing with his cousins. They came across a big metal box and they all wanted to climb onto it. Being the eldest in the group, Zhao climbed first. Just as he was reaching for it, he felt an enormous force rip through him, and only realized he had been badly electrocuted when he woke up in hospital.

"I was so timid at that time that I even dare not to take off my clothes, but my mother told me that you must be self-independent," Zhao said. "The sport helped me a lot and totally changed my life."

Zhao realized his potential in the sport when he won the 60m sprint organized by the rehabilitation center.

China made its Paralympic debut in New York 1984 and claimed only two titles. In Athens 2004, China topped the standings with 63 golds. In Beijing 2008, China swept 89 golds to defend its No. 1 position.

In the ongoing London 2012, China has collected 70 gold, 60 silver and 53 bronze medals to lead the tally so far, followed by host Britain with 31-39-38, and Russia 31-31-23.

Among the 10 gold medals taken by China on Thursday, the Day 8 of the London Olympics, six came from track and field, and one each from swimming, wheelchair fencing, shooting and road cycling.

Rong Jing,Wu Baili and Yao Fang celebrate winning gold in the women's Team - Category Open Wheelchair Fencing on Day 9 of the London 2012 Paralympic Games.



The Chinese were forced to battle all the way to claim victory as their team of Yao Fang, Wu Baili and Rong Jing had to dig deep against some determined opponents.

In the quarter-finals, Yulia Efimova put in a huge effort early on to go 10-2 up against Yao but China then won seven of the next eight bouts to beat Russia 45-38 to set up a semi-final with a strong Hong Kong team, which had overpowered Great Britain 45-26.

In a close encounter, Hong Kong led 35-34 with two bouts remaining but both Ring and Wu scored narrow victories to help China to a 45-42 success and the chance to battle it out for gold.

In the other half of the draw, Zsuzsanna Krajnyak produced a strong performance to help Hungary edge out France 45-41 in their quarter-final clash to set up a semi-final with Poland, who had seen off Ukraine 45-28.

The last-four battle then went down to the wire after the scores were locked at 33-33 after seven of the nine bouts, but Krajnyak’s 5-1 victory in the last match ensured Hungary ran out 45-40 winners.

In the final against China, Krajnyak won the second bout by a nine-hit margin to put Hungary 10-2 ahead, but Wu immediately responded to win the next encounter 13-3 and from there the Chinese never relinquished the lead as they recorded a 45-38 triumph to clinch gold.

For Yao, it was her second gold medal of the Games, after winning the women’s Individual Foil - Category B, while Wu now has a complete set of gold, silver and bronze medals from London 2012.

The bronze medal went to Hong Kong after they recorded a comfortable 45-26 victory over Poland.
