HATS OFF to Ibrahim Hamato, a legendary Table Tennis player, who has become an inspiration for many. Yes, he has a very strong willpower, and has made sure that no hurdles come in the way of his favorite sport Table Tennis. Want to know what is so special about the player?
Well, when Ibrahim was 10, he lost both his hands, but not his PASSION.
In spite of this accident, he was in love with Table Tennis and didn’t wish to leave it. After 3 years, he once again started his journey towards fulfillment of his dreams.
After changing all positions and arrangements to hold the bat, finally he developed grip to hold it in his mouth, with the support of his teeth.
Yes, you heard it right; what if he has no hands? He has his teeth to play TT and stun the entire world.
He has played against many legends such as Wang Hao and Jun Mizutani and even they are surprised with his energy and special ability. On being asked about how is this possible, Ibrahim names his wife and says that her support has made this possible.
He wants people to have that belief that even Impossible means ‘I M Possible’, provided they put in dedication and efforts.
Well, Ibrahim lost in the Paralympic Debut this year against David Wetherill (Britain player), but this doesn’t made him lose hope. In fact, he was happy that he got a chance to play opposite such a great player.
For Ibrahim, losing or winning doesn’t matter, all that matters is his passion, which is never going to end.
