From Paralympic swimmer McKenzie Coan and Olympic cycling athlete Hannah Roberts, to Olympic climbing athlete Brooke Raboutou and Olympic diving athlete Hailey Hernandez, Gen Z girls are proving to be the strongest athletic competitors we’ve seen. And it’s not just their physical strength that we’re cheering them on for — it’s their smarts, tenacity, and grace under criticism and doubt that has us completely awestruck.
Coan, for example, was born with a rare condition called osteogenesis imperfecta, which is also known as brittle bone disease. She was just 3 years old when her physical therapist suggested aqua therapy… and the rest is history. “Every broken bone, every setback, has made me a stronger person,” she says. “And it’s made me who I am today.”
Raboutou has had a passion for climbing since she was a young girl, but her short stature was always considered a disadvantage. Not to her, though: “I think has made me a much stronger climber,” she says.
