– Born with congenital limb differences, Frech began his athletic journey at a young age and made a bold declaration at 11 that he would make the U.S. Paralympic team for Tokyo 2020.
– Despite finishing fifth in his event in Tokyo, Frech used the disappointment as fuel for his relentless pursuit of gold.
– Frech’s meticulous 100-day social media countdown to gold paid off, as he achieved his goal in both the 100m and high jump events.
– His ultimate mission is to change the way the world views disability and normalize the achievements of Paralympians as elite athletes, not just athletes with disabilities.
– Frech hopes his success at the Paris 2024 Paralympics will help advance this mission as he looks ahead to the next Paralympics in Los Angeles in 2028 with the goal of becoming the greatest Paralympian of all time.
