In the history of the U.S. Paralympic movement, Lex Gillette is the best, totally blind, long and triple jumper. He is a world record holder in long jump, a four-time Paralympic medalist, a three-time long jump world champion, and an 18-time national champion. He is the only totally blind athlete to ever eclipse the 22-foot barrier in long jump.
At childhood, many of his fellow eight-year-olds were seen riding bicycles, shooting baskets, or frolicking on nearby playgrounds, but Gillette was dealing with a far more challenging situation. His sight slowly began to fade due to recurrent retina detachments and he underwent ten operations which failed to stabilize what was left of his sight.
