In May 2022, Oleksandra Pascal’s life changed in an instant. She was playing outside her home in Ukraine when a Russian missile attack hit the region. According to the little girl’s mom, she was found under rubble. This left her with several crushed bones, four broken ribs, and head wounds. Needless to say, her family feared she would not make it.

But after a 15-day induced coma, Oleksandra made it out alive. This was only possible, though, by amputating her leg. Because she has been in love with gymnastics since she was only 4 years old, this was especially devastating. And yet, as Oleksandra spent months in rehabilitation, she found strength in that very love. In fact, you can now watch this young dancer in competitions (with the help of her prosthetic leg).
“I hope one day she’ll [qualify] for the Para Olympic Games!! What a performance!!” someone in the comments shares, another adding, “Wow, I have never seen anyone do this with her disability. I’m speechless, what determination to fulfill her dream as a dancer.”

The proof of Oleksandra’s incredible progress can be seen in many ways. This includes, of course, the moment she took home first place at a competition in the Odesa region. Now, the little girl dreams of one day representing Ukraine at international sports competitions.
“I have no doubt I would succeed,” the talented girl proudly shares.
