A paralyzed British woman has become the first person to complete a marathon in a bionic suit. Claire Lomas finished the London Marathon 16 days after starting the race with 36,000 other people. Mrs Lomas was paralyzed from the chest down in a horse-riding accident five years ago. Hundreds of people lined the streets as she made her final steps to complete the race. She said she hadn't been given an official medal because she didn't finish on the day of the race. But 14 other runners gave her their medals.
一位瘫痪的英国妇女借助仿生装置成为完成马拉松比赛第一人。Claire Lomas与另外3.6万人参加了伦敦马拉松,16天后她完成了比赛里程。五年前Lomas骑马时出了事故,胸部以下全部瘫痪。就在她快要抵达终点完成比赛时,数百人排在大街上观看。她说,由于她没有在比赛日期内完成比赛,所以没有得到官方奖牌。但另外14名选手把自己的奖牌都给了她。
Mrs Lomas's bionic ReWalk suit allows her to walk by detecting shifts in her balance.
