Tatyana McFadden joins Team AMS

She won her first Paralympic medals when she was 15, and is now an eight-time world champion – and still only 21.

We’re delighted to announce Tatyana McFadden as the third member of Team AMS. She joins Jody Cundy and Adeline Dumapong  as our inspiring talent working towards the London 2012 Games.

Tatyana’s strength of character and body is truly incredible. Born in 1988 in St. Petersburg, Russia, with spina bifida, she was placed into an orphanage for the first six years of her life. When she was adopted into the US, her resilience and natural strength saw her excel at a number of sports – all building up to her successes in Athens in 2004. You can find out more about Tatyana and her amazing story so far by visiting our dedicated Team AMS website.
