'I've been dreaming about this moment forever, so just thinking about wearing red, white and blue and representing my country,' swimmer Ahalya Lettenberger told ABC13.
"I've been dreaming about this moment forever, so just thinking about wearing red, white and blue and representing my country," swimmer Ahalya Lettenberger told ABC13.Rice swimmer Ahalya Lettenberger was born with arthrogryposis amyoplasia, a skeletal disorder that limits the use of her lower body. That hasn't slowed her down. She's been swimming since the age of 12 and is headed to compete in two events at the 2024 Paris Paralympics.
With that Paralympic experience under her belt, "I'm more confident this time around, being a veteran on the team," she said. "I didn't know what I was doing back then because it was my first Paralympic games," she said. "The Paralympics is so different than any other competition, because it is the biggest meet in the world."
