Video Transcript

OZ SANCHEZ: Hi, everybody. Obviously, my name Oz Sanchez. My background I guess most closely I'm from the Los Angeles area, spent about six years in Marine Corps Special Operations. Before having an injury, which retired me.

So since then, obviously I took up adaptive sports. I've been in the air cycling for the last 15 years. I think let's see about seven world championship medals. Obviously, six time Paralympic medals. And this would be my fourth games.

And I'm actually sort of envisioning myself participating in the games until the Los Angeles games in 2028. Obviously, that's an ambitious goal given my age. But you know, as long as I remain competitive, then I'll keep going.
