Malik Jones, a member of Team USA’s sled hockey team at the 2026 Paralympics in Italy, talks with “Enable: The Disability Podcast” about adaptive sports and the differences between traditional hockey and sled hockey. Jones, who was born without shinbones and had both legs amputated at 10 months old, previously became the second Black athlete to represent the U.S. in sled hockey and won a gold medal at the Paralympics in Beijing.
(Fun fact: The “para” in Paralympics stands for “parallel,” not paralyzed, because the Games are parallel to the Olympics.)
