On December 13th, the sitting volleyball event entered its second-to-last competition day at the gym of South China Agricultural University during the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities (NGD) and the 9th National Special Olympic Games (NSOG).

At the Rehabilitation Assistive Devices Service Station inside the gym, repair technician Sun Yong was half-squatting on the floor, inspecting and fixing a wheelchair. His right prosthetic leg drew attention. Having worn a prosthetic limb for over 20 years, Sun told reporters that he had found renewed purpose at this NGD & NSOG. On one occasion, the rim of an athlete's wheelchair was accidentally deformed. Sun immediately contacted the manufacturer and ensured the timely replacement of the entire rim set. As a person with a disability himself, Sun understands better than most how crucial well-functioning assistive equipment is. From a service recipient to a service provider, Sun continued the warmth-giving move through his repair service.

"Ready! Sprint! Wipe!" Whenever the whistle blew on the court, several figures in green dashed in with cleaning rags to quickly wipe away sweat from the floor. They are the volunteers known as the"quick wipers". Throughout a single match, these volunteers may run back and forth dozens of times, and by the final whistle, they are already soaked with sweat.

Another group of volunteers at the competition venue, the "ball runners", act as the "ball stewards", responsible for collecting balls, wiping them dry, and promptly returning them to the athletes.

In different corners of the event, countless others were equally busy. Security personnel remained on constant patrol, medical staff stayed on standby throughout the competition, and cleaning crews worked silently through the venue. Each person fulfilled their role with dedication and close coordination, ensuring the smooth and successful running of the Games.

假肢技师、快擦手、滚球妹……看残特奥会的动人坚守

12月13日，残特奥会坐式排球项目在华南农业大学体育馆展开倒数第二个比赛日的火热角逐。

在华农体育馆的康复辅助器具保障服务站，维修技师孙勇半蹲在地上检查维修轮椅，右腿佩戴的假肢格外引人注目。这位已佩戴假肢20余年的技术专家告诉记者，自己在本次残特奥会中找到了新的价值。有一次，一位运动员的轮椅钢圈意外变形。孙勇立刻协调厂家，及时更换整套轮圈。同样作为残障人士，孙勇深知一副好用的辅具有多重要。从被服务者到服务者，孙勇在维修台上完成了温暖的传承。

“预备——冲刺——擦！”每当场中哨声响起，数道绿色的身影就手持抹布冲入场内，迅速擦干地面的汗渍。他们，就是“快擦手”志愿者。一场比赛下来，“快擦手”要往返奔跑工作数十次，比赛结束时早已汗流浃背。

竞赛场地另一个岗位的志愿者“滚球手”则是“球类管家”，负责捡球、把球擦干，并及时传递给运动员。

在赛事的不同角落，更多身影同样忙碌：安保人员坚守巡视、医护人员全程待命、清洁人员默默穿行……每个岗位的工作人员各司其职、紧密配合，为赛事顺利运行保驾护航。
