PARIS — Canada's first medallist of the 2024 Paralympic Games struggled to lift and diaper her son just a few weeks before stepping onto the podium in Paris.
Part of her therapy at Vancouver's G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre was attaching clothes pins to buckets to get her hands working, and that was a challenge for her just three months out from the Paralympics. "If I'm being totally honest, I wasn't expecting this. The last few days, I was like, 'I can't control what other people do. I can't undo or redo the last few years. What can you do but go out on the track and go as fast you can?'"There were two riders remaining when O'Brien's time of 36.873 seconds was bested by Frenchwoman Marie Patouillet's 36.7.
