Oksana Masters becomes Summer and Winter Paralympic champion with cycling gold

• American eases to victory in hand-cycle time trial in Tokyo
• 32-year-old was brought up in shadow of Chernobyl

Oksana Masters cruised to a gold medal on Tuesday in the H4-5 hand-cycle time trial in Tokyo. It was her ninth career Paralympics medal and third gold. Her victory means she is one of just 28 athletes to have won gold at both the Winter and Summer Paralympics. She previously won two golds in cross-country skiing at the 2018 Paralympics in Pyeongchang.

The 32-year-old was shuffled between Ukrainian orphanages as a child and had birth defects thought to be from the aftermath of Chernobyl, the world's worst nuclear accident. She was eventually adopted by her American mother, Gay Masters.
