Paralympic Champion Becomes Model at Moscow Fashion Week

October 30, 2017

Paralympic champion Olesya Vladykina swapped her swimming suit for a floral dress to take part in Moscow Fashion Week on Saturday. The 29-year-old swimmer lost her left arm and her best friend in a terrible bus crash nine years ago while on holiday in Thailand. Amazingly, she returned to the sport just a month after the crash and competed in the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, winning a gold medal.
