Jeff Skiba – Amputee Police Officer and Paralympics Athlete

Hi, 

My friends, today’s story is of an Amputee police officer and Paralympics athlete “Jeff Skiba”. Jeff Skiba is a police officer and a Paralympics athlete from the United States, who won gold and silver medals in Paralympics. 

Let me tell you more about him 

Jeff Skiba born without a fibula in his left leg, he had the limb amputated when he was 11 months old. His mother said they had a good pediatrician who had seen other children with her son’s condition play sports with prosthetics just like other kids their age. Jeff Skiba’s mother says, ““We always assumed he’d have a normal life, we didn’t assume he’d have an extra-normal life, He’s a gifted athlete.” 

Jeff Skiba’s Paralympic Experience:

2004 Paralympic Games, silver (high jump)

2008 Paralympic Games, gold (high jump), silver (pentathlon)

2012 Paralympic Games, silver (high jump), 8th (javelin) 

Jeff Skiba’s Career Highlights:

2011 IPC World Championship, silver medal (high jump)

2006 IPC World Championship, gold medal (high jump), fourth place (long jump)

2006 U.S. Paralympic National Championship, gold medal (pentathlon)

2002 IPC World Championship, gold medal (high jump)

2002 International Challenge Track and Field, gold medal (high jump) 

He never let that slow him down and a decade later he’s still at it. On Sept. 8, this time on the world stage, Skiba thrust himself 2.04 meters, or 6 feet and 8.3 inches, to clear the bar and win the silver medal at the London Paralympics. 

Now a police officer in San Diego, Jeff Skiba is still training and already has his eye on Rio de Janeiro, home of the 2016 Paralympics. Jeff says, “The London experience was awesome and all it did was motivate me to get ready for Rio in four years,” he said. “I want to get the gold medal back and my world record back.”
