Meet Lin Suiling, captain of China’s women’s wheelchair basketball team, who’s laser-focused on winning gold at the Paris 2024 Paralympics 🌟. Despite early doubts about her size and ability, Lin has become a scoring powerhouse—and her journey is nothing short of inspiring.
Born in 1991, Lin joined Guangzhou’s wheelchair basketball team at 17 and quickly rose to the national squad by 22. As captain since 2018, she’s led her team to a Tokyo 2021 silver medal 🥈, a 2023 World Championships runner-up finish, and an Asian Para Games gold 🏅 in Hangzhou. Now, Paris is her next big stage.
🚨 'Can she do it? She’s so short and tiny,' critics once whispered. Lin recalls veterans and coaches questioning her potential. But she tuned out the noise: 'I blocked those doubts and just trained harder.'
Coach Chen Qi became her game-changer, refining her skills and building her confidence. Today, Lin’s lethal shooting and leadership make her the team’s MVP. 'I’m proud to compete in my third Paralympics,' she told China Media Group.
Coach Chen says the squad’s goal is clear: 'Retain our silver and fight for gold. Even if we fall short, we’ll have no regrets.' 💥 With Lin’s relentless drive, Team China is ready to rewrite history—one basket at a time.
