Special Olympian Chris Nikic is no stranger to hard work, and he has a bold ambition. The 20-year-old is training to become the first person with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman triathlon.
Chris, from Maitland, Florida, had open-heart surgery as a baby, and as a toddler he used a walker to take his first steps. He dealt with bullying and judgment from others, but he claims that his resolve has helped him to be ready for Ironman.
