Recently, five-time Paralympic swimmer Jessica Long posted a message on her personal social media platform account, and clearly wrote in the first picture: "I will not participate in the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games."

Jessica Long's statement has sparked a series of discussions and attention on social media. Some fans expressed understanding, support or regret for her decision, while more people will pay attention to the Paralympics and the life and training of disabled athletes.

In addition, a total of 46 athletes from all over the world have spoken out, including wheelchair fencer Bebe Vio, who has won a Paralympic gold medal, javelin athlete Manasi Joshi, and table tennis player Bhavinaben Pate, who has won a Paralympic silver medal. Even Chinese athlete Yao Fang, who won the individual gold medal in foil and the team gold medal in epee at the 2012 London Paralympic Games, is among them.

It turns out that this campaign is the slogan of an event initiated by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), which hopes to remind everyone that Paralympic athletes are not only skilled in sports or have a strong determination and will to win, but also deserve praise for participating in sports events.
