'Fish without wings' racks up medals

China's "flying fish without wings", Xu Qing, 24, a man with no forearms, grabbed the world's attention by winning his 10th gold medal at his fourth Paralympics. He was one of a crew of Chinese swimmers that dominated this year's Rio Paralympic Games.

The Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, ended on Sunday, with Chinese swimmers winning 37 gold medals, 30 silvers and 25 bronzes. No country has earned this many gold medals in swimming in any previous Paralympics.

Xu won three golds in the Beijing Olympics in 2008, four in London in 2012 and another three in Rio this year, including a world record in 50-meter butterfly at S6 level. On a 1-to-10 scale, S1 represents the swimmers with most serious disabilities. The Chinese media called Xu "the king of ten golds".
