Team USA athletes Noelle Lambert and Jarryd Wallace are gearing up for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, each embarking on a new chapter in their athletic careers. Lambert, competing in her second Paralympics, and Wallace, a seasoned veteran in his fourth Games, have found common ground in their transition from sprinting to the long jump.
Wallace, a T64 category athlete with below-the-knee amputations, made the switch to long jump to reignite his passion for the sport after feeling burnt out from sprint events. Lambert, a T63 category athlete with above-the-knee amputations, embraced the challenge of adding a new event to her repertoire, driven by a desire to push herself beyond her comfort zone.
