Tatyana McFadde is a Russian-born United States Paralympian athlete competing in the category T54. McFadden has won 10 Paralympic medals in the Summer Games and is currently targeting the Winter Paralympics in sit Ski competitions.

Tatyana McFadden was born in the Russian city of St. Petersburg with spina bifida, a congenital disorder that paralyzed from the waist down. Her birth mother abandoned her in an orphanage that was too poor to afford a wheelchair for her, so she walked on her hands for the first six years of her life.

The doctors told her she was so sick that she had very little time to live. There she was seen by Deborah McFadden, who was visiting Russia as a commissioner of disabilities for the US Health Department.
