Meet the Athlete

Samantha Bosco is a two-time Paralympian and three-time Paralympic medalist who began her cycling journey at just six years old, riding to school with her dad. Born with a leg deformity corrected through surgery at age four, she faced major setbacks at 11 when a limb-lengthening surgery went wrong, leading to years on crutches and a stunted left leg. But none of that stopped her.

Inspired by early races with the Arctic Bicycle Club at age nine, she dreamed of becoming a professional cyclist. That dream became reality, with career highlights including a gold medal at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games and two bronze medals from Rio 2016. Her accomplishments also span 24 World Championship medals – six gold, nine silver, and nine bronze – across road and track events.

Outside of cycling, Samantha’s athletic talent spans swimming, bowling, and collegiate rowing at the University of Central Florida. She's also an athlete mentor, using her journey to inspire students across the country.
