Last night, when the reporter contacted Zhang Tianxin, he was talking to his family to announce the good news. He said: “The mentality during the game was pretty good. I didn’t think much about anything else. I just told myself to shoot every arrow well.” The young man won the gold medal in his first Paralympic Games, and behind it was an unimaginable effort.

23-year-old Zhang Tianxin is a native of Pinghu, Jiaxing. When he was young, he was unable to walk as normal as a healthy person due to a sudden illness. He became a second-degree disabled person. However, he has been studying hard and living optimistically. In 2017, with the mentality of giving it a try, Zhang Tianxin went to Hangzhou Sports Training School to participate in sports training, hoping to become an athlete. He still remembered that there were many sports in the selection venues. He wanted to choose table tennis at first, but the table tennis coach at the time was resting and the archery project on the side was just going on. With an attitude of giving it a try, Zhang Tianxin came to the archery coach, but he was caught by the coach and became a W1 player of the archery team. “The coach originally said he wanted to reply to us in 3 months, but after 20 days, the coach replied, thinking that he is very talented in archery.” Zhang Tianxin’s father Zhang Jinliang said.

At the time, 19-year-old Zhang Tianxin had never been exposed to archery. As a beginner, he spent a lot of time on basic training every day. Since the competition uses a compound bow, it takes a lot of strength to draw the bow alone, so he has to work harder than ordinary people for physical training, from morning to night.

Although the training was very tiring and boring, Zhang Tianxin did not give up, but persisted hard. After mastering the basic skills, he quickly showed his talent in archery and achieved good results in national competitions. In May 2019, he helped the Chinese team to win the W1 mixed team gold medal for compound bows and the silver medal for men’s W1 compound bow men’s W1 team at the Paraarchy World Championships held in the Netherlands. He won the men’s compound bow W1 gold medal.

Zhang Tianxin’s sister, Zhang Tianying, said: “I received my younger brother’s WeChat announcement before 8 o’clock in the evening. He told me,’I got the gold medal.’ Later, when we called, we were even more excited than him. I told him that In the next game, you must continue to work hard, maintain a good state, and don’t forget the original intention of setting foot on this road.”

It is reported that Zhang Tianxin will also participate in the men’s compound bow W1 individual competition on the evening of August 30.
