Michelle Konkoly is a 4x Paralympic medalist and pediatric rehabilitation rehab resident physician. After a traumatic spinal cord injury in 2011 left her with permanent weakness in her legs, she pivoted from able bodied swimming to the Paralympic sphere, and her career took off. At the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games, she was selected as team captain and won 2 gold medals (S9 50m and 100m freestyle), 1 silver medal (400m freestyle relay), and 1 bronze medal (400m medley relay), as well as set a World Record in the 100m Freestyle. While she retired from competitive swimming in 2018, she remains involved as a broadcaster and worked for NBC Sports as an analyst and on-air commentator for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. After graduating from medical school in 2021, she started her residency in Pediatrics and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and is pursuing a career working with children and young athletes with disabilities.
