8 hours agoAt 58, Cynthia Ranii was paralyzed from the chest down. 20 years later, her sights are set on a Paralympic medal
At 78 years old, Ranii was used to competing against younger opponents, but this one was especially boyish; no older than 12 by her estimation. If she leaned on him a little harder, she thought she could leave with a clean sweep. But after dropping the first two sets, the boy began to listen to advice from his parents, who had coached him throughout the match.
