last bumpage.

that is radddd.

btw psu sucks.

Rohan is the man, story is so sick. and why does psu suck?

that dude is so baller.

Eh, wait. Not to be a dick but what's the deal here? He has no legs and he's a paralympic athlete. What do you expect him to do? Sit at home and cry about his situation? It's cool he's a good athlete but in no other way than an able bodied person. I'm pretty sure the dude would say the same himself. Feel free to correct me if there's some exceptional cirumstances here.

if your heard this kids life story, it makes sense he that he needs all this publicity.

Well yeah that's what I mean. What's the backstory?

damn thats amazing

if i told you it would take forever so hear it goes.

Rohan

sorry i didn't mean to click reply balls.


Rohan was born in Long Island,New York.He had 12 surgeries on his legs when he got up to be about 7.They had to amputate them.He couldn't do anything like swim do sports or anything  he was crushed by it. didnt start goign to school until about 3rd gradehis paretns were from jamaica. and he was named after his dads favoite cricket player. When he got to be in high school, at gym class he would always have to go to the libraray and right a report on whatever. until one day his gym teacher(which i forget his name} asked him to do some pull ups and push ups after gym class. he ended up breaking some school records also. like 40 pull ups or something of like that. his gym teacher was also the JV wrestling coach he brought rohan down to the wrestling room and showed him how he would be able to wrestle. how he would start from neutral, top and bottom. Rohan didnt really like it at first he wrestled 96 pound weight class. he went about 2-9 his sophmore year. After that year he really wanted to get better so he trained really hard for his coming up junior year. his coach was gving him these flyers for wrestling camps and one stuck out for him it was a 28 day camp in minnesota. it was like a real intense camp. and he did it. so his junior year he did really well and finished 25-11. he made all county team and all region team. his senior year, he wanted to go out with a bang. he went back to that 28 day camp and wrestled and trained really hard his senior year during the region final match he was wrestling a kid who he beat twice before. he was winning 6-4 with a couple second lefts he got caught on his back and lost 7-6. he was devistated. he was a match away from going to the New york state tournament. the kid that he wreslted in that match one state too. just imagaine rohan could've one it. after that rohan applied to go to university park PA (PSU) but the campus was really big and it was going to be hard for him to get around. so he went to altoona campus for a while. and he realized hes missing something in his life WRESTLING so he sent an email to the head coach at PSU asking him he wants to wrestle for them. coach said ok and arrranged a meeting. when rohan rolled in coach thought he wanted to be a wrestling managaer or record matchs, he said no he wants to wrestle for him. so coach gave him a shot and rohan went 3-5 at a division 1 wrestling school which is one of the top wrestling colleges in the nation. he;s so thankful that coach gave him a shot. hes know training for the 2012 para olympics in england he just missed bejing by very little he still continues to wrestle and is incredible strong he benchs 340 and will hopefully win in 2012 he lives a normal life and drives in a car. i play call of duty with him to hahah.you cant get him to not stop watch or think abotu wrestlign hes glued to it. such a nice guy too

Nice.

i tried to summarize it.

oh yeah and he ran up Mt.Tussie. A ski resort by Penn State ON HIS HANDS. he made it all the way up too.

Jesus, thats truly amazing.
