身有残疾并不意味着敲不开奥运会的大门,来自南非的娜塔莉就用“梦想的右腿”创造了历史:她同时取得了残奥会和奥运会的参赛资格。从6岁开始练游泳起,参加奥运会就是她的梦想。娜塔莉14岁开始在国家游泳队效力,在今年的奥运预选赛中轻松过关,实现了她截肢后的第二天时立下的誓言:和健全人一样参加奥运会。她的左腿膝盖以下被截除。她不能戴着假肢游泳,不太可能夺得奖牌,她自己也知道。但她必将赢得人们的钦佩。因为即使只有一条腿,她依然能游得很远。
Being disabled does not mean knocking on the Olympic Games. Natalie from South Africa created history with “The Right Leg of Dream”: She also qualifies for Paralympics and the Olympic Games. Starting from 6 years old to practice swimming, to participate in the Olympic Games is her dream. Natalie started playing at the national swimming team at the age of 14 and passed the Olympic qualifiers this year with the vows she made on the second day after her amputation: going to the Olympics just like being healthy. Her left leg below the knee was cut off. She can not swim with artificial limbs, is unlikely to win the medal, and she knows it. But she will certainly win people’s admiration. Because even with only one leg, she still can swim far.
