when you see the last Marvel Avengers,
well... it's a team of
superheroes...
who try to save
humankind,
save
people,
fight
for success.
And, well, we are quite similar.
We are all superheroes...
because we have all experienced tragedy.
We have all lived through
something that didn't allow us to succeed.
And that's where our strength lies.
Life is a fight.
We are trying to save the world.
It was a home for...
all nations.
It's like a team sport, not an individual sport.
We often stick together. When we go to competitions,
we are always there to cheer each other on.
She said today, "I want my foot back."
This is your foot, isn't it, Ellie?
It's staying right where it is.
Hi, this is Bebe. Today I'm doing my first commentary.
The long jump final...
It was the first time in my life...
that I'd seen a stadium so full.
Jean-Baptiste Alaize is one of the favorites.
I chose long jump,
wanting to flee from something, I think.
A sense of...
leaving and never coming back.
Of flying,
of escaping...
I saw so much in a short time, growing up.
I lived through the worst thing, as a child.
I was haunted by this one nightmare.
I struggled to move on, to forget.
I am a survivor of the Burundi civil war, in 1993.
I remember everything, as if it was yesterday.
The Hutus wanted to exterminate all Tutsi reproductive families,
every mother and child.
I was three years old.
I didn't understand what was happening, why they were doing this.
I tried to flee from the killers with my mother...
but...
not fast enough.
And then I received four machete blows. That's how I lost my leg.
And another blow to my arm.
And here, on my head, and one to my back.
And after that, I was forced to witness...
forced to watch as my mother was murdered in front of me.
Yeah.
I woke up in a hospital. Had I been dead for four or five days?
I had external and internal bleeding.
Extraordinary. Three years old, and I survived this...
this massacre.
And then I had to rebuild my life, in an orphanage. Alone, abandoned.
Why do I love running and jumping?
It's as if I'm trying to escape what happened.
I run to escape.
Falling, getting up again. Falling, getting up again, that's life.
And this is relevant for many people. And I understood it very early.
And today, sport is what has saved me.
At my first Games, I didn't learn about victory,
but I learned a lot about humanity.
On the 9th of November, I took my car and went to the synagogue.
And there, the whole thing was surrounded by hundreds of people, burning,
and SS men playing football with prayer books.
I stood there and realized that my tears were running down.
But I became quite determined to help persecuted people.
In my position, I could help people.
Whether Christian or Jewish, it didn't matter.
Help them to disappear under the nose of the Gestapo.
I went to the hospital and there were three SS officers sitting there.
"Sixty-four people were admitted. How can you explain this?"
I discussed every case,
and of course I invented all sorts of the diagnoses, you see.
Out of the 64 people, I saved 60.
In came the immigration officer and said,
"Who are the little children in the background?"
And my wife said, "Ours."
"Will you please come first? Children shouldn't stay in a draft."
Now this knocked us both out for six.
After all we had been through in Germany,
that simple man saying, "Children shouldn't stay in a draft,"
then my confidence in humanity came up like this,
and it has never wavered.
As I was disabled at a very young age,
my family never had high expectations for me.
They just wondered what I would do when I grew up,
how would I support myself.
The China Disabled Persons' Federation was recruiting athletes
for the 2008 Beijing Paralympics.
They came to my home and asked me if I was interested in sports.
I was born to a family that was not rich.
They had opened a door for me.
After the 2008 Beijing Paralympics,
people all over the country changed their attitude towards the disabled.
My life and my family’s,
improved a lot after that.
I was adopted in France.
It was as if I had landed on a new planet.
I was often told I was good for nothing.
I was just a dirty cripple...
a negro...
It's...
I was little, I didn't really understand what was going on.
But when I told my parents about it...
I often struggle to understand why people
are so harsh with the differences of others.
Here we will hold
the best Paralympic Games in history,
not in terms of organization, but in human warmth...
It was very difficult to focus.
So much stress, so much mental preparation.
You have arrived at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
It was... It was shocking.
Bebe Vio. Thank you, Bebe, for all the emotions you gave us.
This time, you're the one who is making us fly.
My disability is my strength.
I'm going to die this way.
My leg is not going to grow back.
I am not a lizard.
