If you are watching movies related to the Ironman World Championships, you will find that one of the players with a machete prosthetic leg in the lower body stands out among many athletes. He's Scott Reggie with his feet amputated. As a disabled athlete, Rigsby is not afraid of endurance sports such as marathon and triathlon. He began to participate in triathlon in 2006, and entered the Ironman World Championships Hall in 2007. The following is the report of Runner's World on his first challenge to the Ironman World Championships at the end of 2007: At the 23 miles of the marathon part of the Ford Ironman World Championships in Hawaii in June 5438+00, Rigsby felt that his lower limbs were almost unbearable, and he even imagined that he fell on a stretcher and was carried away for treatment. He has completed 2.4 miles (3.9 kilometers) of swimming, 1 12 miles (180 kilometers) of cycling, and almost completed 26.2 miles (42 kilometers) of marathon. The amputee's residual limb has blisters, swelling and bruises. Every step, the skin is like being pressed into the surrounding lava field by hot coal. However, when he saw that the time in his watch had gone 16 hours 13 minutes, he realized that if he wanted to finish the game before the closing of 17 hours, he would be sorry for himself. So he quickened his pace. "That was the biggest pain I have ever experienced," said Rigsby, 39, who lives in Atlanta. "I began to say to myself,' This is the result of your hard work for so long. If you can do it, you can change the world. Indeed, Rigsby is not just exaggerating. He stood on the track in order to change people's stereotype of disabled people, become the first amputee in the world to complete the triathlon super competition, and redefine the potential of disabled athletes.

Iron Man with Bipedal Amputation: Scott Rig * * * y? Hickorywellcrafted's road to progress was in July 1986. Rigsby was a high school American football player at the age of 18, but an accident changed his life. He and two other friends are sitting in the back of the trailer. On a narrow road, they were caught by a 18 truck that illegally overtook the trailer from the rear. Rigsby was dragged 328 feet and then pinned under the trailer. His right leg was amputated immediately after the first operation, and the next year, he underwent 16 operations, large and small. The doctor said/kloc-it will take 0/8 months to get out of bed and walk again, and I don't want to run again. Rigsby said: "I went through a stage where I couldn't accept the fact and thought it would grow back." "It was a very difficult period. 」

Scott Rig *** y 1986 was hospitalized after amputation due to a car accident. ? Five years after Scott Rig *** y, Rigsby began to study at Georgia State University, while swimming and cycling on campus. However, he still wants to run. He said, "If you tell me that I can't do something, I'll do it myself. One day, he finally got up the courage to run around the playground, but when he ran the fourth lap, his reconstructed left foot could not bear the impact, so the seam between the skin grafts on his foot was torn. This setback hit Rigsby hard. I feel like a prisoner with' seemingly complete' legs, "he said. In the next seven years, Rigsby graduated from university and engaged in various sales and construction jobs, but he still fell into depression, but was later cured. Finally, in 1998, he decided to amputate his left leg below the knee. ""With my new prosthesis, I can change from a' professional' patient to a normal person, "he said. I finally have beautiful legs. The inspiration for Rigsby to play Iron Man came from June 5438+February 2004, when he read a story about Sarah Reinertsen in Runner's World magazine. Reinertsen was the first woman to challenge the triathlon Super World Championship and amputate above the knee. "I've never participated in triathlon, but when I realized that no biped amputee had completed super triathlon," Rigsby said, "I decided it was my challenge." Ideas, obstacles removed. In 2006, Rigsby became the first amputee to complete the Olympic distance triathlon (standard iron) and the half-distance super triathlon. In March 2007, he became the first bipedal amputee to complete the ING Georgia Marathon in 5 hours and 4 minutes. Three months later, Rigsby finally reached the ultimate goal of Ford Triathlon in Idaho. He tried to finish swimming and cycling, but his neck and back pain forced him to give up halfway through the marathon. Rigsby's next chance is at the Super Iron Man World Championship in Hawaii. From June 65438+1October 65438+March 2007, the acceptable temperature is about 85 degrees Fahrenheit (about 29 degrees Celsius), and the humidity is also very high. The friends waiting at the finish line began to get restless, and they were not sure whether Rigsby would return to the finish line before the deadline. Finally, they finally saw him running down the alley and crossing the finish line. The timer of the press conference shows 16 hours, 42 minutes and 46 seconds. "Most amputees will become less and less active and eventually become high-risk patients with obesity, depression and diabetes," said Mike leonhardt, Rigsby's training partner and CEO of Getting2Tri Foundation. "Scott provided people with courage and inspiration and showed them their potential. He knows that he can have a greater influence on others. From June 5438 to 2007 10, Rigsby founded his own non-profit organization to provide training and guidance for disabled athletes. " Rigsby said: "Once you have accomplished something, you can easily ride the wave of success and enjoy a reputation of 65,438+05 minutes. I will stick to it and tell people that you can make good use of the life God gave you and do something extraordinary with it. "Maybe other people, strong or amputated, will see my story and say," You know what? Life is hard, but if this person can do it, why can't I? Rigsby is still active in Ironman and Marathon, and actively gives all kinds of help to disabled athletes. At the same time, he also gave speeches everywhere, inspiring and inspiring everyone with his own stories.
