The life of Dai Guohong was rather ordinary before 2008. He was 18 years old when he lost his both legs in the horrible Wenchuan earthquake. He didn’t give in, trained a lot and has now become one of China’s top swimmers.

On the first photo you can see the Italian Olympic swimmer Flavia Zoccari in tears.

Qian Hongyan got her legs amputated after an auto accident when she was only 3 years old.
But she didn’t give up. And now she has a dream to participate and win as a swimmer in the 2012 Paralympics in London.
What is interesting the thing she had before she could be provided with her prosthetic legs…
The answer is after the jump.
