Episode Synopsis

Jataya's journey to the Paralympics is one of resilience, determination and incredible spirit. A former Marine, Jataya faced significant challenges after sustaining serious injuries during her service, which eventually led to the amputation of her left leg. But that didn't stop her. Encouraged by another military veteran, she discovered fencing and has since become a dedicated competitor in both epee and foil. As she prepares to compete in her first Paralympic Games, we’re going to chat about Jataya’s story, her training regimen, and what it means to represent Team USA on the world stage.Visit the USA Fencing websiteFollow USA Fencing on InstagramRead a transcript for this episode
