MEDAL QUEST | Meet Kortney Clemons | A Veteran's Journey | PBS

Duration: 02:36

Paralympic sprinter, long jump competitor and US Army veteran Kortney Clemons talks about the IED that took his right leg and killed three of his friends in Iraq. Paralympic sports, he says, are just like the Olympics: "a very big deal." MEDAL QUEST offers an unprecedented look into these high-stake games and the athletes that play them, and is produced for PBS by WGBH Boston in association with the US Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee.
