Reutenant Dan? You got magic regs! (Thumbing myself down for this one)
#1 The human spirit never ceases to amaze me
What's incredible about this is that until recently, disabled people had no status in China. They were considered a worthless drain on society. There's a big cultural shift going on now where they're beginning to embrace the idea of individuals having their own worth, even if they're disabled.
wow this is indeed inspiring, we complain over stupid stuff.
time to re-evaluate everything
Stunning and beautifully accomplished. I wish I had that drive!
one day i wish to be at least half as awesome as this guy…
…
wait…
Such great courage
should get fins…. or a propeller!
Inspiring, I wish him well ……… things like this make me feel so small for complaining about my problems.
I call an unfair advantage. No legs, less drag. Arms do more than legs. Who is the faster swimmer – a guy with no arms or the guy with no legs?
you ain't got no legs Lieutenant Dan.
very cool
