TOKYO (XINHUA) - Although Egyptian table tennis player Ibrahim Elhusseiny Hamadtou failed to win a medal, he has become one of the most uplifting stories at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics.

At a Games full of stories of athletes who have overcome limitations to compete at the highest level, Hamadtou, who lost both his arms during a childhood train accident, stands apart, holding the racket with his mouth and serving by flicking the ball up with his right foot.
