Wang Jiachao, born in a small village in Yunnan, was found by the Yunnan Provincial Disabled Swimming Team and became a swimmer at the age of 10. He lost his left arm due to an accident when he was 5 years old. In his swimming career, he represented the Chinese team in 3 Paralympic Games in Athens, Beijing and London, winning 1 gold medal, 4 silver and 1 bronze. After retiring in 2015, Wang converted to professional triathlon and won the 4th place in PTS4 at the 2021 Tokyo Paralympics.
In 2021, he joined the elite Shokz squad, and his extreme and strong sportsmanship fully aligns with the value of Shokz sports headphones. "The value of a person is not only to realise his own goal, but also to inspire others". For the people around him, enjoying the healthiness, happiness and self-transcendence in sports is way more meaningful than financial success.
"My steps and breath while running."
"Shokz OpenSwim has made swimming more enjoyable for me and helped me find a balance between my steps and breath while running."
