Evan Strong
When Evan Strong was seventeen years old, he was in a horrific accident at age when he was skateboarding and was hit head-on by a drunk driver on a motorcycle. Evan’s left leg had to be amputated below the knee. Before his accident, Evan was already an athlete. However he soon traded in the skateboard for a snowboard after being fitted with a prosthetic. Since then, he scored big time at the inaugural snowboarding competition at Sochi in 2014 and is expected to follow a similar success at Pyeongchang. He is looking to take gold in snocross and banked slalom.
