Introducing our Athlete with Impact - Noah Vucsics, @n_a_j_a_n As a child, the now 24-year-old was diagnosed with an intellectual disability that affected his reading and writing. It was a leap over garbage cans that set in motion Noah Vucsics’s journey to make history: To become the first Canadian track and field athlete with an intellectual impairment to compete in the Paralympics. The teacher who witnessed Vucsics’s propitious jump at his Calgary high school in 2018 suggested the grade 12 student try out for the track and field team. After just six weeks of training, Vucsics competed in his first–and only–high school city sports championship. He made a 20-foot jump, earning him a bronze medal. “I want to do what might seem impossible to others and inspire them—to show them what is possible.” says Noah Vucsics While training with Calgary Track and Field Athletic Association, he learned there is a class (T20) in para-athletics for people with intellectual disabilities. To compete, he would need to be classified internationally to verify his skill and competence, as well as prove his disability. In early 2020, Vucsics was preparing to travel to Dubai for the first step of the two-pronged classification process when the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted plans. His classification was delayed for two years, which meant he could not qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Perseverance paid off and soon he was on the road to paris.

Check out our 2024 Road Running Shoe Reviews.⁠ ⁠ We’ve collaborated with top runners from across Canada to test and review the best road running shoes for this year, helping you make informed selections. ⁠ ⁠ Today we are featuring the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Elite V4 reviewed by Jen Millar ⁠ “I have raced in a variety of super shoes, but this one is a frontrunner when it comes to 10 km and half-marathon road racing. With every step you are propelled forward and feel like you might actually fly. The FuelCell’s thin carbon fibre plate and 100 per cent PEBA foam midsole offers energy return to the legs to keep you feeling fresh even when the going gets tough. The shoe is true to fit, narrow through the midsole with lots of room in the toe box. I highly recommend the shoe as a bouncy, comfortable option for longer distance road races.“⁠ 5/5 stars ⁠ To find your next training partner, click the link https://lnkd.in/g7Xxhmtd Photography by @mckerrellphotography ⁠ #roadrunning #shoereview #newshoeday #running #marathontraining #training #runningshoes #trainingshoes #health #impactmagazine #2024shoereviews #runyourway #newbalance
