The reason is that the contestants from other countries used wheelchairs made adjustable to fit their body sizes; this makes it much easier and more comfortable to turn the wheels. The Taiwan team had ordered several titanium-alloy racing wheelchairs from Japan, but these unfortunately were all one standard size and could not be adjusted to fit each person's body size. This affects performance and is harder on the hands.
原來他國選手的輪椅是依每個選手身材量製的合身輪椅，推起來自然得心應手，我們雖然從日本買進幾部鈦合金的競速輪椅，但卻是統一規格，無法合身，不僅成績受影響，也容易磨破皮。
