🏅 Amazing Athletes

When Hunter was bullied in elementary school for having two prosthetic legs, he didn't give up. He kept practicing until he became one of the fastest runners in the world!

He was the first double-amputee to earn a college athletic scholarship. After winning his gold medal, he ran straight to hug his wife Tara in the stands - who had just won Olympic gold in long jump weeks earlier!

Ezra won the 100-meter sprint by just 0.02 seconds - that's a photo finish! He also holds the world record in high jump.

Born with limb differences, he had his leg amputated at age 3. His family started "Angel City Sports" to help other kids with disabilities play sports. He believes every kid should have the chance to compete!

Jessica was born in Russia, adopted by an American family, and started swimming at age 10. She won her first Paralympic medals at just 12 years old!

With 29 total medals, she is one of the most decorated Paralympic swimmers in history. She proves that age is just a number when it comes to achieving your dreams.

Amy lost both legs below the knee at 19 when she got very sick. Doctors said she had only a 2% chance of surviving. But just 7 months after getting her prosthetic legs, she was snowboarding again!

She went on to win three Paralympic medals and even finished 2nd place on "Dancing with the Stars"! She shows the world that determination beats any obstacle.

Hugh lost both legs in a climbing accident at 17. Instead of quitting, he started designing custom climbing feet for each route!

He invented feet "the size of baby feet" to fit into tiny rock cracks and titanium-spiked feet for ice climbing. TIME Magazine called him the "Leader of the Bionic Age." He now runs a lab at MIT that invents next-generation prosthetics.
