CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Tatyana McFadden has won the Boston Marathon wheelchair race four times. In April, she crossed the line first at Boston and then at the London Marathon in the same week.
So why not go for seven golds at the Rio Paralympics this September, in events from the 100 meters on up?
"I'm really a sprinter," McFadden said after winning the 5,000-meter race at the U.S. Paralympic trials.
Competing at the meet through Saturday, McFadden plans to attempt a medal haul rivaling Michael Phelps when she gets to Brazil.
Not that it seems to phase her much.
