Paddler looks ahead to London Games

Gao Yanming did not claim any medals at the Beijing Paralympics. But more importantly to him, he believed the event offered him a golden opportunity to help more people who have disabilities become involved in sports.

The 45-year-old owner of an office automation company plans to start a fund to buy wheelchairs for local people who have disabilities, enabling them to engage in exercise.

After two years' intensive training, Gao became the first Chinese to participate in the Paralympics' men's individual table tennis class B tournaments - the highest level of disability for an athlete from the country to participate in to date.
