Jiang Yuyan of China in action during the Paris 2024 Paralympics women's 200m individual medley SM6 heats at the Paris La Defense Arena on Friday. Before the Paris Paralympics, Jiang Yuyan added a touch of flair to her left hand — a set of long, sparkling nails that she hoped might offer a slight psychological edge in competition. As she competes in the Paris Paralympics, Jiang's goal is clear: to defend her Tokyo titles and achieve even better results in other events. On Friday, in the mixed 4x50m freestyle relay 20 points event, Jiang and her teammates rose to the pressure admirably, winning with a world record time of 2:14.98, earning Jiang her second gold medal of the Games.
