Before the opening of the Olympics, many famous players were seen running with the torch on the streets of Paris. One of those players was Kevin Piette, who cannot walk on his legs. After a road accident 10 years ago, this French tennis star lost his ability to walk. But despite this, he set an example of high spirits. He was seen running on the streets of Paris with the torch in his hands. The question is how did this miracle happen?

What France's disabled tennis star Kevin Piette did in Paris has inspired other disabled players with courage and determination. Now it won't be surprising if we see some more disabled players taking part in the torch march in the next Olympics.
