Here the Physically Challenged people from all the countries are given opportunities to showcase their talent. Mariappan is one such talent who was noticed in the recently concluded Paralympics held in the year 2016. He is very shy guy and very much reserved. He won gold medal in the high jump event. Being shy and reserved in nature, but when he comes to high jump training, he is very much disciplined and was never having fear due to the wounds in his handicapped leg.
Mariappan leaped a distance of 1.89 metres to pluck the gold medal in this event. Hailing from a small village named "Periyavadagampatti" nearby the district of Salem and from the State of India. The leap took their family out of poverty. He has two younger brothers and an elder sister. He never was demotivated by his physical disabilities and wanted to achieve big and was confident enough to achieving something higher in life with the feeling that disabilities are never hurdles in anyone's lives. He liked to participate in all the sports and practicing hard in high jump made him fly with high colours.
At the age of 22, he has completed the degree of BBA(Bachelor of Business Administration), was not able to find any job. He has lot one of his legs while playing and when the bus crashed it when he was 5 years old. He was participating and winning in school and inter collegiate events. He is very punctual and disciplined. Despite his family circumstances, he used to be present in the ground on time. He braved wounds on his leg. When he trained regularly, there is a chance that it takes couple of weeks to heal. He is an example, that poverty or disability is never an hindrance to achieve something bigger and only our interest,focus and hard-work is enough to fly with higher colours.
