Whether it’s on the wrestling mat (摔跤垫), the road or the ocean waves, these four athletes are the true picture of strength.

Raised by surfers in Hawaii, Bethany Hamilton was born to be in the water and began competing professionally as a young child. However, at 13, she lost her arm in a shark attack. One month later she was back on her surfboard with a determined spirit and positive attitude. She wrote about her experience in the autobiography (自传) Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family and Fighting to Get Back on the Board. Her story has been made into an inspiring movie, Soul Surfer.
