Paralympics pt 2

The Paralympics have some of the greatest athletes (able-bodied or otherwise) that have ever hit a court, track, floor, etc. This is evident when you look at Steve Serio. Mr. Serio is 29 years old and plays for Team USA on the wheelchair basketball team, and because of his and the teams efforts went undefeated in the 2016 Paralympics in Rio this past summer. They won their first gold medal in 28 years. “To think about what we accomplished and to accomplish it together with this group of guys, it is special. From my personal experience, getting fourth at Beijing [2008] was really hard. Getting bronze at London [2012] was an important stepping stone for the programme, just to know that we belong on the podium. Four years later to win the gold it has been an amazing journey. I would not change it for anything.” (Paralympic) says Mr. Serio after the gold medal win, beating Team Spain 68 to 52.
