Episode 124: Dani Aravich went from Division I runner to Paralympic biathlete

What does it take to become a Paralympian in a sport you just learned? This week, Corrine sits down with Team USA Paralympian Dani Aravich — a Nordic skier and biathlete (that's skiing and shooting) heading into her third Paralympic Games right now. How did she go from DI runner to professional sports executive to discovering the Paralympic movement and jumping headfirst into a brand new sport? Dani learned how to cross-country ski as an adult — and now she's in Milan competing at the Paralympics. But, she says, Paralympic storytelling also needs to move away from inspiration narratives and recognize these athletes as elite athletes. That's partially why she's a co-founder of Culxtured , an athlete-led media collective aiming to elevate Paralympic stories and coverage beyond the Games. Watch the Paralympics and Dani compete on Peacock & NBC in the U.S., CBC in Canada, and see the full list of global broadcasters here .
