Abled : the Blake Leeper story.
Born without legs and told he'd never walk, Blake Leeper defied expectations with the help of prostheses and a supportive family. From a young age, he pursued sports, pushing the limits of what was possible. Inspired by fellow blade runners, he turned to track and quickly rose to become one of the fastest men in the world. After winning big at the 2012 Paralympic Games, Blake set his sights higher competing against non-disabled athletes. In 2019, he made history by setting a world record at the able-bodied US Nationals, qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics and becoming the fastest double amputee to run 400m. But with success came controversy: officials questioned whether his blades gave him an unfair advantage. Disqualified and doubted, Blake now faces his greatest challenge proving he belongs to the world's biggest stage.
