Ibrahim Hamadtou lost both his arms in a train accident when he was just 10 years old, but that hasn't stopped him.*

Hamadtou **w plays table tennis with one shoe on and one shoe off. He picks the ball up with his toes to serve. He holds the paddle in his mouth to rally.*

He's incredible, and he's a Paralympian.*

Hamadtou made his Paralympics debut this month in Rio de Janeiro, but the 43-year-old Egyptian has been in the spotlight before.*
