Unsinkable: From Russian Orphan to Paralympic Swimming World Champion

Paralympic swimmer Jessica Long was born in a Siberian orphanage and adopted by her American parents at the age of thirteen months. Born with fibular hemimelia, a partial or total absence of the fibula, Jessica’s lower legs were amputated when she was eighteen months old. After learning to walk with prostheses, she got involved with a variety of sports including trampolining, rock climbing, and gymnastics. However, it’s swimming that has made her a global name while bringing her recognition as the second most decorated U.S. Paralympic athlete of all time. Unsinkable is the remarkable story of an extraordinary young woman who refuses to shy away from a challenge.
