At the age of 14, elite athlete Daniel Wagner lost his leg: "Many leg amputees wear long pants to hide the prosthesis, but I wear shorts" (Standard article)
A trampoline accident at the annual gymnastics display at the local sports club cost Daniel Wagner his leg, but earned him a new outlook on life and gold medals at parasport's biggest athletics competitions. Now the 31-year-old athlete is heading to the Paralympic Games in Paris to win gold – and to show us that para-athletes do not deserve pity, but recognition.
