When he was ten years old, Ibrahim Hamadtou lost his arms in a train accident. Three years later, he went on to play table tennis with no hands, using his feet to serve the ball and mouth to hold the paddle. He's been unstoppable since.

"The disability is not in arms or legs, the disability is to not persevere in whatever you would like to do," said Hamadtou, according to The Huffington Post .

If you've been following the Paralympics, you already know the Arab world is doing exceptionally well. Some are winning medals, and others are winning hearts.

Egyptian table tennis player Ibrahim Hamadtou was defeated by Great Britain's David Wetherill. The two physically challenged athletes are Internet sensations with a combined 10 million YouTube views. 

"I know I won today but I think [Hamadtou] has demonstrated far more skill," said Wetherill.

He became a hero without a cape

With words that will ring in ears for years to come

He inspires with action, not talk

This is the face of determination
