DAYTON, Ohio -- A 9-year-old swimmer is leaving the competition in her wake even though she was born with a crippling disability.
Anna Amend has only one arm and a stunted leg, but that doesn't keep her out of the pool.
She competes for the YMCA in Dayton, Ohio, amazing her parents, coaches and spectators.
"I really liked the Olympics. I watched swimming the most. It was really cool," she said.Anna's parents had adopted her from a
Ukrainian orphanage when she was three, and doctors had told them she would never walk.
The speedy swimmer says someday, she might even go for the Olympic gold.
