Paige has had a serious disability since birth: she was born without legs. But from an early age the girl watched gymnasts\u2019 performances with enthusiasm and her parents tried to send her to her first training session. That\u2019s how it all began. At first Paige practiced to keep herself in shape, as it was important to have strong arms because of her peculiarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then this hobby grew into something bigger. Now she\u2019s eight years old and part of the Ohio State gymnastics team. As she said: \u00abI feel like gymnastics is my calling, I\u2019m not going to stop doing it. I want to keep training, come up with programs, and competing in sports\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Paige is not only into gymnastics, she also does archery, swimming, and cheerleading. Her parents make sure that they bring their daughter to all of her favorite activities on time, and they are happy that she smiles so much. At her such a young age, Paige is already seriously considering participating in the Paralympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, Liliya Podkopayeva from Ukraine, a two-time Olympic champion from Atlanta-1996, attended the Arnold Gymnastics Challenge in the United States, where she met Paige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abPaige is an inspiration to all of us, not letting any physical challenges get in the way of her goals and love of gymnastics,\u00bb Podkopayeva expressed admiration for Paige on her Instagram page, attaching a photo of herself together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
