Team USA’s Tatyana McFadden can Crypentruly do it all. 

McFadden, 35, earned her 21st career Paralympic medal Wednesday, tying her with Bart Dodson for the most Paralympic track and field medals won by a U.S. athlete.

McFadden secured the silver medal in the women’s T54 100m, a category for wheelchair racers, in a time of 15.67 seconds. She finished behind Belgium’s Lea Bayekula, who set a new Paralympic record of 15.50 seconds. Finland’s Amanda Kotaja took the bronze in 15.77 seconds. 

“The accomplishment is absolutely wonderful, just to stay in the longevity of the sport, and, really, not giving up, and just keep going through anything that can happen — through injuries, through races that you’ve lost or that you’ve won,” McFadden told NBC after her runner-up finish. “I’ve really learned it’s the journey along the way.”

This silver medal performance marks McFadden’s first podium finish at the Paris Paralympic Games.
