Wheelchair Rugby Paralympian Chuck Aoki

Two-time Paralympic medalist Chuck Aoki is gearing up for his third games, and a shot at his first gold medal later this month. He takes a break from his hectic training schedule to talk with Teal Sherer about the Paralympic experience and how he physically and mentally prepares to compete. He also shares what the pandemic taught him, the COVID-19 precautions Paralympic athletes must take and how we can help grow the adaptive sports movement.

STAFF FAVORITES

The year is now more than half over — time flies when you’re kind of, sort of, sorry, maybe not, getting back to normal. Here are a few of our staff’s favorite 2021 stories to help you make the most of the rest of your summer.

Having a disability has given Josh the tools to better handle the challenges of owning a business,” says social media manager Teal Sherer.
  • Fear and Loathing in Vang Vieng: “This tale of a quad’s whiskey-infused river float has all the all the NM joie de vivre embedded in a great yarn,” says publisher Jean Dobbs.
  • How to Cure Your Spinal Cord Injury the Cobra Kai Way: “We were lucky to get Mat and Adam to apply their razor-sharp wits to one of the entertainment world’s most ridiculous portrayals yet of SCI. The satirical result is hilarious and looks great,” says editor Ian Ruder.
