Aimee Mullins: Mudar de pernas — e de mentalidade

Mudar de pernas — e de mentalidade

Neste vídeo do arquivo do TED de 1998, a corredora para-olímpica Aimee Mullins fala sobre a sua carreira de recordes, e sobre as incríveis pernas prostéticas de fibra de carbono (um protótipo na época) que a ajudaram a cruzar a linha de chegada.

Achievement is not just about crossing the finish line, but about daring to start and embracing the journey. A collegiate athlete with double below-the-knee amputations, she shattered records and expectations, becoming the first to compete at the NCAA level with prosthetic legs. She recalls nearly losing her leg mid-race in front of thousands and facing unexpected defeat at the Paralympics, only to find meaning in growth and resilience. Her story celebrates how technology and mindset together can expand the definition of human potential.
