Twenty-seven-year-old U.S. Paralympic swimmer Morgan Stickney just won gold today in the 400m freestyle final. But despite golds in Paris and Tokyo – breaking records along the way – her path has been enormously challenging with an uncertain future.

Morgan was a top ranked able-bodied swimmer who unexpectedly became a double amputee by age 22, a crushing blow to her Olympic dreams. But she dug deep and eventually believed in herself enough to find a way. She spent a full third of last year in treatment for ongoing medical issues, but kept training in between hospital stays, laser-focused on her lofty swimming goals.
