Armless bearer holds torch high

KUNMING: How can an armless torchbearer like He Zhigang carry the Olympic torch?

Last year, during the 7th National Games for the Disabled, the 40-year-old managed by allowing another person to carry the torch while he did the running.

"To be honest, I didn't feel like a torchbearer at that time," He, a calligrapher and multi-championship winner at provincial and national sports games for the disabled from Lijiang, Yunnan province, said.
