In this episode of The Huddle, the 24-time Paralympic medalist shares how she embraces starting from scratch, avoids burnout, and has shifted her focus from proving people wrong to creating opportunities for the next generation. Plus, she hints at what might be next ahead of the LA 2028 Olympics.
In this episode:
Why Oksana loves being a beginner and starting over
How she became an elite athlete after a double leg amputation
What failure taught her about resilience and ambition
How purpose—not medals—keeps her motivated
