Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The top Paralympic swimmer in the world, Jessica Long delivers an inspirational photographic memoir. Born in Siberia with fibular hemimelia, Jessica Long was adopted from a Russian orphanage at thirteen months old and has since become the second most decorated U.S. Paralympic athlete of all time. Now, Jessica shares all the moments in her life - big and small, heartbreaking and uplifting - that led to her domination in the Paralympic swimming world. This photographic memoir, filled with photographs, sidebars, quotes, and more, will thrill her fans and inspire those who are hearing her story for the first time. AGES: 10 to 12 AUTHOR: Jessica Long first swam competitively at age 10. At 12, she earned three gold medals for the U.S. Paralympic Team in Athens, Greece and has since competed in 3 more Paralympic Games amassing 13 gold medals and 23 total along the way. Jessica has established herself as a positive young role model and reputable spokesperson for many worldwide brands and honourable causes. During prime-time airing of the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games, NBC Sports featured "Long Way Home" chronicling Jessica's story-from her birth with fibular hemimelia, placement in a Siberian orphanage, adoption by U.S. parents, early health struggles, rise to world-class athlete, and return to Russia to meet her birth parents. This emotional and very public experience of meeting her family for the first time gave rise to a period of significant personal growth for Jessica, and also helped create a swell of interest in U.S. and International Paralympic organisations. The top Paralympic swimmer in the world, Jessica Long delivers an inspirational photographic memoir. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
