In a different world, Jon Kreamelmeyer, 75, would have been in Canada
competing in the Masters World Cup of cross-country skiing last week.

Instead, he was learning to navigate life with one leg.

In January 2021, Kreamelmeyer, an International Paralympic Committee
technical classifier who helps determine the competition class for new
athletes and a former U.S. Paralympic coach, noticed a dull pain in his
right leg. A hot sensation radiated from his calf to his foot. He felt as
though the ball of his right foot were filled with marbles.
