Sept. 7, jxcn.cn -  Jiangxi received happiness in judo as Guo Huaping wrapped up the gold in women's competition at the Beijing Paralympics on Sunday, September 7, 2008.

Guo Huaping surprised her coach and herself after winning the women's -48kg division.

Guo overwhelmed Brazilian Karla Cardoso, silver medallist at the 2004 Athens Paralympics, by an ippon.

The 27-year-old from a farmer's family in east China's Jiangxi Province participated in the Athens Games where the women's judo made its Paralympic debut and finished fifth.

Guo started strongly to throw Cardoso for yuko in the final while the Brazilian could hardly cope with the aggressive rival. A determined Guo ended the match after throwing Cardoso for ippon.

"I didn't do well in Athens 2004, because I was too nervous since it was my first major competition. I worked very hard in the past four years, but I didn't expect a gold medal. I was just thinking to make the top three," said Guo. "I have no time to call my families so far, but I can't wait to share my happiness with them."

Guo took the gold not only as a reward to her own effort, but a morale booster for all disabled people in China.
