Beijing athlete Li Bin, 36, delivered a standout performance at the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities in Guangzhou on Friday, claiming two gold medals in track and field. Competing in the hearing-impaired category, Li first triumphed in the men's long jump with a decisive 6.95-meter leap, overtaking Fujian's Chen Wenjun in a tense final round.
Later that day, Li anchored Beijing's men's 4×100-meter relay team, securing a second gold with a time of 42.29 seconds. The veteran, now a four-time National Paralympics competitor, described the victories as deeply emotional. "I can't wait to show these medals to my kids and family," he said. "This long jump title adds to my legacy, and I’m grateful for my team’s effort in the relay."
The games, held in Guangdong Province, highlight China's commitment to inclusive sports, drawing over 5,000 athletes with disabilities nationwide. Li’s achievements underscore both personal perseverance and the growing prominence of adaptive athletics in Asia.
