Jean Driscoll was born to be a sport player. Though she was born with a problem in her spine (脊 柱 ), it did not stop her. In fact, she has won the wheelchair division(轮椅组) of the Boston Marathon seven times. She has also won medals in shorter races at the Paralympics.
As a child, Driscoll had to wear crutches ( 拐 杖) to help her walk. However, she enjoyed sports with other kids and taught herself to ride a bike.
At the age of 14, she fell off her bike and hurt her hip(臀部), with the result that she had to use a wheelchair.
At first, Driscoll was afraid that being in a wheelchair would mean the end of her sports dream. But a friend introduced her to wheelchair soccer, sparking her interest in wheelchair sports. By the time she entered college, she had become a good sport player in various wheelchair sports, including soccer, tennis, basketball, and ice hockey. When she was in college, she was noticed by a basketball coach.
Encouraged by the coach, she took part in a marathon race and managed to enter the finals, the Boston Marathon. To prepare for it, she started five months of hard training. She trained six days a week. In the gym, Driscoll lifted 200- pound weights, which were almost twice her body weight. Outdoors Driscoll often ran along the road in, her whee1chair for 40 kilometers without a break. She even trained to climb hills by having three people hold on to the back of her chair.
