WHOOP's video: Tatyana McFadden on Persevering Despite the Odds

Tatyana McFadden is the best female wheelchair racer of all time. She has 24 World Major Marathon wins – including 4 consecutive Grand Slams, meaning she placed first in the Boston, Chicago, NYC, and London marathons in the same year – and she has 20 Paralympic medals, including 8 golds. Born in Russia with spina bifida – a congenital disorder that paralyzed her from the waist down – she spent the first six years of her life walking on her hands because the orphanage she was in was too poor to afford a wheelchair for her. Tatyana shares her story and perseverance, including the role that accessibility to sport had in saving her life.
