the paris paralympic games has been underway for three days, and the competition in various events is in full swing. the much-anticipated r1-men's 10m air rifle standing sh1 qualifying competition will be held tonight (august 31st, beijing time). the 39-year-old veteran, sichuan athlete dong chao, will take to the field and fight for the country again.
dong chao, from zigong, sichuan, is one of the most experienced members of the national disabled shooting team. he has participated in four paralympic games and won three gold medals and one bronze medal. this year, he will compete again in the men's air rifle 60-round standing shooting, the mixed men's and women's small-caliber rifle 60-round prone shooting, and the men's small-caliber rifle three-position shooting, and will once again strive for gold medals.
talking about his fifth paralympic journey, dong chao said, "i think the biggest challenge of shooting comes from myself. honors are all things of the past. i hope i can stay calm and composed in this competition, enter a state of selflessness, and break through my own limits."
dong chao has done a lot of preparation for the paris paralympics. years of training and competitions, coupled with his age, have made injuries an inevitable problem. his shoulders, neck and lumbar spine have all been injured to varying degrees. in addition to shooting training, he also has to undergo rehabilitation treatment every day. he said, "i am older now, but i still cherish the opportunity to compete like this. no matter how many difficulties there are, i will be able to overcome them, do my best and leave no regrets."
