The running leader played the blind man's eyes and escorted her up and down the runway. On the field, the tacit understanding between the front runners and runners forms a joint force to boost sports performance. This tacit understanding stems from daily training and the care that leaders give to the leaders in all aspects of life.
Leaders and blind athletes are like brothers and sisters, holding hands and going in and out together, feeling like brothers and sisters, both inside and outside the stadium. Half of the "military medals" of blind track events belong to the leaders who are silently dedicated.

During the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo, there is such a moving picture that has been hovering in my mind: a slender rope full of strength and heat, gently and tightly binding the hands of Paralympic athletes and team leaders, so that they can walk to the dream finish line together.
When it comes to starring, it's hard not to mention the pair of Liu Cuiqing and Xu Donglin. After years of running-in, the two have cultivated a tacit understanding of twins. At this year's Paralympic Games in Tokyo, they won the gold medal in the women's 400m T 1 1 final.
Liu reached the finish line in 56.25 seconds in the final round, setting a new Paralympic record and winning the 20th gold medal for China. Xu Donglin, her partner, accompanied her all the way, connecting their hands and guiding them with a10cm long traction belt.
Since 20 13, they have worked together as partners and made great achievements in major competitions, such as winning two gold medals at the Rio Paralympics on 20 16. Their success also stems from their tacit understanding and trust, which can only be cultivated through years of training.
