The Chinese men's goalball team is wrapping up its training for the Asian Para Games at the national goalball training base in Tangqi ancient town, Linping district, Hangzhou, local media outlets reported.
The team, which won silver at the Tokyo Paralympic Games last year, is aiming for a gold at the Hangzhou Asian Para Games in October.
Unlike kabaddi and a few other sports that most Chinese people are not familiar with, goalball enjoys wide popularity in China and some of its athletes are well-known.
Hu Mingyao, 27, from Yongjia county in Wenzhou, Zhejiang province, is one of them.
Visually-impaired due to developing albinism in his childhood, Hu rose to fame not only for his professionalism but also his strong resemblance to Satoru Gojo, the main character in the Japanese comic series Jujutsu Kaisen.
