0:02:14 > 0:02:16time she got in a canoe, but she got over that

0:02:16 > 0:02:23to storm through and win the race.

0:02:23 > 0:02:31Well, we've heard how many people watching the paralympics have been

0:02:31 > 0:02:35But what is life like for children living with a disability in Brazil?

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Martin's been to meet one 11-year-old boy in Rio to find out

0:02:37 > 0:02:39what life is like for him.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52I've come to a poor neighbourhood in the north of Rio to meet

0:02:52 > 0:02:54a pretty cool dude.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08which can make everyday life difficult for him.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13TRANSLATION: My aunt gave me a skateboard for Easter

0:03:13 > 0:03:16when I was smaller to make it easier for me to get around.

0:03:16 > 0:03:22So I kept training with this small, plastic skateboard, just help me.

0:03:22 > 0:03:28Eventually, my mum bought me a wooden skateboard,

0:03:28 > 0:03:32to come here to the park to start to learn how to do it properly.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34It was a cool experience, since then, I've been

0:03:34 > 0:03:35coming here to play.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Transport is very difficult around the city.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Things need to be more accessible.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50The buses should be better for wheelchair users.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53And there should be more ramps everywhere.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57I'd also like cars to be more accessible too.

0:04:01 > 0:04:07in the city of Rio?

0:04:07 > 0:04:10The Paralympic Games are very important to me, I really like it.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12It's encouraged me to do more sports.

0:04:12 > 0:04:16Each day I watch one more sport, as it encourages me more,

0:04:16 > 0:04:18it gives me more hope.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21It was in another city, I wouldn't be watching with the same

0:04:21 > 0:04:23emotion that it am here in Rio.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27What message would you give to young people like

0:04:37 > 0:04:39and always keep your head up.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Don't let anything get you down.
