On October 25, the National Paralympic Games swimming competition was again heard. In the men's SM15 class 200m individual medley final held that morning, Henan hearing impaired athlete Ma Zhiliang won another gold medal, which was already his third gold medal at the Special Olympics. On October 23 and 24, Ma Zhiliang won the men's 400m individual Medley SM15 final and the men's 200m butterfly S15 final, and won a silver medal with his teammates in the men's open 4X200m freestyle relay final. Ma Zhiliang, 23, has a hearing impairment since childhood, and when he was 11 years old, he met his coach Guo Hongyan and has been associated with swimming ever since. At the last National Paralympic Games, he won four gold medals. "It is not easy for Ma Zhiliang to achieve such a good result. Last year he was hospitalized for illness and didn't train much for almost a year, until he resumed intensity training two or three months before this competition, and he was under a lot of pressure this time. Guo Hongyan said that Ma Zhiliang will also participate in the 1500-meter freestyle and two relay races. Ma Zhiliang, come on! (Reporter Wang Luyang)
