Olympic swimmer Amy Van Dyken just reached another milestone on her miraculous road to recovery — she’s now able to stand and support her own weight.
Van Dyken posted a video of her latest accomplishment and said, “I’m starting to get this standing thing down! #amysarmy #werk #IllBeWalkingSoon #GettingFittedForBracesNextWeek”
Van Dyken — who won four Olympic gold medals in 1996 and two more in 2000 — severed her spine in an ATV crash in June 2014. Since then she has posted video of her progress … taking her first steps with the help of an exoskeleton … and a few months later, pedaling a bike on her own.
She forgot one hash tag — #OlympicHero.
