A young female athlete in the Philippines recently won multiple gold medals for her school during a provincial sports despite not having proper running shoes.

Rhea Ballos, an 11-year old student of Salvacion Elementary School in Balasan, Iloilo, was only wearing bandages around her feet when she competed at the Iloilo Schools Sports Meet.

Facebook user Valenzuela posted images of the girl with her feet wrapped in brown plaster (石膏) bandages bearing the famous Nike logo. Ballos even wrote the word "NIKE" on the sides of her "shoes" to complete the "Nike running shoes" look. The bandages were tightly wrapped around her feet, creating a thin protective layer against the track.

While she was virtually (实质上) barefoot during the races, she was still able to defeat her opponents (对手) who all wore proper footwear intended for running. According to the post, Ballos bagged the top awards in the 400-meter dash, the 800-meter run, and the 1500-meter run in the inter-school sporting event held in Iloil, central Philippines.

When images of her "Nike" footwear were spread widely, Filipinos on social media showered her with praises for her dedication and character. Many noted that instead of wallowing in self-pity. she was even able to make light of the situation by drawing the Nike logo on her "running shoes."

Some of the commenters of Valenzuela's post expressed how the girl deserved to be recognized by Nike and that the brand should actually give her a new pair of real Nike shoes.
