Anna Harkowska
Anna Harkowska, born 20 March 1980 in Świnoujście is a Polish cyclist. At the age of 14, Harkowska won two gold medals in the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics as a swimmer, however an ear infection left her unable to continue. She later trained in running and took up a triathlon, and eventually focused her efforts on cycling. In May 2002, she was hit by a car in Szczecin; she suffered 26 fractures in her legs and nearly lost her left leg. She returned to professional cycling after several surgeries and months of rehabilitation. In 2012, Harkowska participated in the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, where she won three silver medals.
