Paralympics: Inside adaptive sports with Team USA sled hockey (Enable: The Disability Podcast)

Malik Jones, a member of Team USA's sled hockey team at the 2026 Paralympics in Italy, talks with "Enable: The Disability Podcast" about adaptive sports and the differences between traditional hockey and sled hockey. Jones, who was born without shinbones and had both legs amputated at 10 months old, previously became the second Black athlete to represent the U.S. in sled hockey and won a gold medal at the Paralympics in Beijing. (Fun fact: The "para" in Paralympics stands for "parallel," not paralyzed, because the Games are parallel to the Olympics.) “Enable: The Disability Podcast,” which highlights amazing people with disabilities and different abilities, releases new episodes weekly on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.
