  To cross me English Channel - the stretch of water between England and France-is no mean feat.At its narrowest point, it is 34km wide - a big challenge for a good swimmer, let alone for one with neither legs nor arms.But being a quadruple amputee(四肢瘫痪者)did not prevent 42-year-old Philippe Croizon from doing exactly that.

  The Frenchman, who had his limbs amputated(截肢)after he suffered an electric shock 16 years ago, completed the crossing in less than 14 hours.He used prosthetic flippers.(假体的游泳脚蹼)to push himself forward and the stumps(残肢)that were left of his arms to stabilise himself on the water.

  He said:"My back hurt, my chest hurt, my shoulders hurt, but at no point am I going to stop achieving my dream of the crossing.I’ve done this for myself, for my family, and for all my fellows in misfortune who have lose their taste for life.”

  It is not the first time Croizon has made headlines.He became famous in 2007 for parachuting from an parachuting(跳伞)from an aeroplane and wrote a book about his experiences called “I decided to live”.It took him two years of preparation to cross the Channel.He trained for 35 hours a week.
