WeirdChinaNews.com - Qian Hongyan, who was forced to use half a basketball as her prosthetic body, has inspired millions recently with her ambition to compete as a swimmer in the 2012 Paralympics in London.  The 10 year-old was injured tragically in an auto accident when she was only 3 years old. To insure her survival, the doctors were forced to amputate her legs.Qian’s family, living in Zhuangxia, China, was unable to afford modern prosthetics and instead used a half a basketball to get around on. Once on the ball she uses two wooden props to help her move around.

Just when I think I’ve seen it all I get a story about a girl who has a basketball for legs.  God Bless America!   Or in this case China!  Although I’ve become so immune to this type of shit that I was actually kind of surprised and disappointed when I found out she wasn’t born with the basketball attached to her.   I guess that type of shit only happens in India.

PS - This chick is totally going to dominate the Paralympics. I mean look at that last picture. She has like superhuman basketball leg strength in her arms or something.
