Girl With Down Syndrome Unable to Walk Until the Age of 2 Is Now a Special Olympian, Model
Special Olympian Chelsea Werner has been able to break yet more barriers for people with disabilities and inspire them with a second career in front of the cameras: modeling.
The two-time defending World Champion gymnast was born with Down syndrome. Doctors told her parents that she would have a low muscle tone among other things, and she didn’t learn to walk until almost the age of 2, but she defied the stereotypes of her genetic disorder by showing a flair for sports at an early age.
