Meet Tang Qian, the 26-year-old Chinese swimmer turning childhood adversity into Paralympic ambition! 🏊♂️ Born with a physical disability, Tang grew up mastering movement without crutches—hopping on one leg to build strength and coordination that would later define his athletic career.
After joining China's national Paralympic team in 2019, Tang narrowly missed the Tokyo Games. But his ‘never give up’ spirit shone at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Para Games, where he smashed a continental record 🏅 in the men’s 400m freestyle. \"That gold medal was just the beginning,\" Tang says.
Now training in Beijing, the rising star is laser-focused on Paris: \"I want to prove that challenges can become stepping stones.\" With his explosive power and grit, Tang is ready to make waves for China on the global stage. 🌍✨
