LEX GILLETTE: I'm Lex Gillette. And I've been to the games four times. So I'm really proud about that. Been able to be a part of Paralympic track and field for the past few years. I compete primarily in the long jump. Over the years, I've competed in triple jump and the 100 meters, the 200 meters, and the four by 100 meter relay. And I'm blind. So I can't see anything. I'm totally blind. I lost my sight when I was eight years old.

And yeah, ultimately, really excited about Tokyo. Training is going well. Had my first competition this past weekend, which was pretty good. And just trying to keep that good energy going towards Tokyo.
