Like the Olympic Games, they are held every four years and include many sports, such as swimming, running, and cycling. During the games, many athletes compete with a guide. Santos lost her sight in her teens. Now at the age of 44, she holds the women’s world record in the 100-metre dash for blind or nearly blind athletes. When she races with her guide, Garcia, he runs to her left. He holds a short tether (拴绳) in his right hand, while Santos holds the other end in her left. ③ Since 2012, most Paralympic guides have received medals with their athletes. However, their teamwork often goes beyond the finish line. While training daily with Santos, Garcia is also preparing for the Olympics. “I prefer being a guide,” said Garcia. “I feel more pressure at the Paralympics. I have to give 200 percent of myself to avoid making mistakes and help my teammate succeed.” ④ A similar story comes from American para-cyclist Hannah and her guide, Skyler. Every time Hannah climbs on a bike behind Skyler, Skyler reaches back to hold her hand. “It reminds us we’re in this together,” said Skyler. Hannah and Skyler follow the same training plan. When training gets too hard, Hannah remembers she is working not just for herself, but for Skyler, too. Skyler believes that if she hadn’t begun guiding, she would never have shone so much in sports. “I’m lucky that Hannah chose me to do this, just as I chose her,” she said. ( )1.
