Paralympic athlete Young has a world title in the 200m T47 and a silver in the 100m T47, a feat she accomplished three years after attempting suicide. A two-time Paralympic medalist from 2016, Young has told teamusa.org that "if I can make an impact, save a life with my story of suicide . . . that will make me happy." The 2021 Paralympics will provide another platform for Young to do just that — and defend her medals while she's at it.
