Paralympic experts and athletes explain how competitors are grouped by kinds and levels of disability. The goal: to “level the playing field” so athletes win because they train and compete the hardest, not because they are less disabled.
MEDAL QUEST shares the stories of Paralympic athletes and follows them to the Paralympic Games. Competing individually and in teams, in sports that range from biathlon and sled hockey in the Winter Games, to judo and wheelchair rugby in Summer, these American athletes personify the grit, the strategy, and the skill it takes to go for the gold.
