THE POWER OF DETERMINRTION

As an aspiring athlete, I admire people who have overcome challenges to achieve sporting success. One amazing example is Tatyana McFadden.

Tatyana grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and later became one of the best Paralympic athletes in US history. However, she had to overcome significant challenges before she achieved great success.

Tatyana was born with spina bifida, a spinal condition that made her suffer from a severe walking disability. In addition, she spent her early childhood in a home for children without families and didn't have a wheelchair to help her get around. However, Tatyana was determined to play with other children at her age and soon learned to walk using her hands.

At the age of 6, Tatyana was adopted by a family and she began her new life in Baltimore. She developed a keen interest in sports and took up wheelchair racing at just eight years old. She quickly showed promise in sport, and by the age of 15, she had already competed in her first Summer Paralympics, taking home a silver and a bronze medal. Since then, she has achieved huge success, winning 7 Paralympic golds and becoming the first person ever to complete a Grand Slam of marathons by winning the Chicago, Boston. New York and London marathons in the same year in 2013. She was also named the 'Female Athlete of the Year' by the International Paralympic Committee in both 2013 and 2014.

In spite of the challenges she has faced, Tatyana has achieved incredible success in sports and has become a role model for aspiring athletes all over the world. Her story teaches us that any obstacles can be overcome if we have enough dedication and determination.

1. Tatyana McFadden is among the best _____ who has competed for the USA.

2. She is unable to walk as a result of a(n) _____ that she was born with.
