Amy also knew she was meant to continue being athletic and threw herself into adaptive sports. She won a bronze medal at snowboard-cross at the 2014 Winter Games. She is possibly one of the best-known Paralympic and adaptive athletes after capturing the hearts of the United States when she appeared on Dancing With The Stars. She was the first Paralympic athlete to do so and was teamed up with Derek Hough. The two accomplished many impressive dances together and even took second place! Amy has also given a TED talk and engaged in a speaking tour alongside Oprah Winfrey. The busy athlete also penned her memoir entitled On My Own Two Feet. She won a bronze medal at the 2017 World Championships and will be at Pyeongchang!
