Tatyana McFadden pulls her hair back into a braid before her competitions it s called her fast hair, she said. The 32-year-old certainly is fast and she has 17 medals across five different Paralympics to prove it. Most are in track and field, though she earned a silver in cross-country skiing at the 2014 Sochi Games and would consider trying for another Winter Paralympics, telling POPSUGAR, It s never a no. Right now, Tokyo is the sole focus.
McFadden, who already claimed a berth in the Paralympic marathon, hopes to qualify for a list of other events: 100-, 400-, 800-, 1,500, and 5,000-meter races. If she racks up five more medals no matter the color she would break the record for most Paralympic medals won by a woman athlete. The record is currently held by Canada s Chantal Petitclerc, McFadden s idol.
