So Wa Wai

So Wa Wai was born on 6 October 1981, he has been an athlete of Hong Kong. He was born with jaundice which affected both his hearing and the balance of his limbs.

When he was ten, he liked to run, an athletics coach Poon Kin-lui thought that he would be good at running, so he began to train him.

As he was trained for a long time, he took a gold medal in 1996 Atlanta 4x100m relay competition. From 1996 to 2007, he totally won eleven medals. Unluckily, his father was injured and unable to work, so he gave up his training and took up a full time job to support his family. Lastly he won two prizes in 2008 Beijing Paralympics Games.

I think So Wa Wai is a good son because he can give up training and took up a full time job to support his family, I think he is a hard working boy too!

I am going to be a good boy like So Wa Wai!
