Paralympic Snowboarder Brenna Huckaby Targets Fourth Gold at Milano Cortina 2026

Huckaby prioritizes mental presence with a focus on self-worth.

Overview

  • The 29-year-old, who lost her right leg to osteosarcoma, is preparing for Italy after earning four Paralympic medals, including three golds and one bronze.
  • She continues to compete against less‑impaired classifications, reinforced by her 2022 legal challenge that secured her Beijing start and led to two medals.
  • Her preparation emphasizes rest, gratitude, and being present alongside intense physical training as she shifts from proving herself to owning who she is.
  • A recent Hershey's partnership amplifies her message about finding happiness beyond podium results.
  • Her public identity features a personally selected purple snowboarding prosthetic reserved for her until retirement, and she plans to have her two daughters with her in Italy.
