With one diving cross-court winner at the London Paralympics, a crutch-holding British tabletennis player has become an Internet sensation.

A clip of David Wetherill’s outrageous shot in his match against Thomasz Kusiak of Germany has received more than 3 million hits on YouTube.

Wetherill, 22, who was born with a condition that restricts the growth of some bones and joints and holds a crutch in his left hand during matches, said, “My biggest concern was that I looked like some silly little disabled boy rolling across the floor. But that doesn’t seem to have been the case.’’

Wetherill lost to Kusiak in the match last Friday, denying him a place in the quarterfinals, but his top-spin forehand will go down as one of the highlights of the London Games. David Wetherill’s shot against Thomasz Kusiak at the London Paralympics has gotten more than 3 million hits on YouTube.
