INSPIRATION-ARMLESS TABLE TENNIS STAR

There is nothing you cannot achieve if you put your mind to it.The story of this amazing man is a prime examble that there is ability in disability.

Ibrahim Hamadto is 41. He lost both his upper limbs in a train accident when he was just 10 years old but that did not stop him from pursuing his dreams.


Starting at 13, Hamadto spent years working hard to perfect his game -- initially he tried different options at gripping the bat, including holding it under his armpit, before deciding to handle it with his mouth.Earlier this month, the Egyptian champion demonstrated his skills at the World Team Table Tennis Championships, held in Tokyo, Japan, where he was the guest of honor and played against some of the sport's biggest names.
Ibrahim Hamadto is an Egyptian para-table tennis player and silver medalist in the 2013 African Para-Table Tennis Championships.
