In Part 2 of The Making of a Paralympian, Jarryd Wallace picks up where his story left off—walking just six weeks after losing his leg and running again only months later. What followed was nothing short of remarkable: a meteoric rise through the Paralympic ranks, world records, and life-changing moments on and off the track.But the story wasn’t always gold medals and podiums.

Jarryd shares:
- His first taste of international victory—and what it taught him about potential
- The heartbreak of tripping on the world stage, and the surprising perspective it gave him
- Rio 2016’s crushing disappointment after being a favorite for gold—and the spiritual reset that followed
- The bittersweet triumph of finally medaling in Tokyo... in an empty stadium
- And his bold switch to the long jump at age 31, which led to a bronze medal in Paris with his family cheering in the stands.

Jarryd’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, purpose, and peace. He also discusses his current mission: advocating for legislation that gives prosthetic users access to the equipment they need to thrive.
