We can\u2019t, not even with two hands. Yet, Ibrahim Hamadtou from Egypt has been absolutely smashing it at the ParaTableTennis games this week \u2013 literally. As a double amputee, Hamadtou plays table tennis by holding the racket between his teeth; he\u2019s been doing so since he was ten when he lost both of his arms in a train accident. We salute this man not only for his athletic ability, but also his mental strength and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>On the topic of ParaTableTennis, of course we gotta celebrate Hong Kong\u2019s Wong Ting-ting winning the bronze medal in the Women\u2019s Singles (Class 11)! At just 17 years old, Wong certainly made a striking debut in her first Paralympic Games. According to her coach, Wong has demonstrated exceptional potential despite being born with an intellectual disability. We\u2019re already looking forward to watching her upcoming matches!<\/p>\n<h3>2.

Well, these guys certainly do. ParaPowerlifting is a demanding sport that requires immense upper body strength. Yet, Bonnie Bunyau Gustin from Malaysia managed to beat his own world record twice on the same day, lifting 228kg \u2013 three times his body weight \u2013 for the men\u2019s up to 72kg category. On the last day of the ParaPowerlifting competitions, Folashade Oluwafemiayo from Nigeria also managed to set a new world record (like Gustin, she broke her own world record twice) by raising 152kg in the women\u2019s up to 86kg category. Talk about superhuman strength!<\/p>\n<h3>4.

Whether it\u2019s the sweet ParaSwimmer Anastasia Pagonis from Team USA breaking the world record in Women&#8217;s 400m Freestyle S11, or the Indian athlete Sumit Antil beating his own world record three times in a row for Men&#8217;s Javelin Throw F64, we\u2019ve been witnessing the world\u2019s best sportspeople outdoing themselves again and again. What we love the most about the Paralympics is that the athletes always demonstrate that what most of us would consider physical \u2018limitations\u2019 are instead something that propels themselves forward \u2013 whether it is in sporting achievements, or even in life in general.<\/p>\n<h3>5.
