From the same country that produced Yao Ming, now comes a paralympian swimmer who actually lives inside of a basketball. Qian Hongyan’s grandfather was the brainchild of this innovation, and Qian herself is a big fan. After I read this story and saw the picture, the only thing I could think of is whether or not she has to move up to bigger basketballs like a hermit crab moves up to bigger shells. I am sorry for that last comment.
