Paige Greco was injured before she started cycling: Health struggles and more explained<\/p>\n
The Melbourne, Victoria, native emerged as the winner of various championships throughout her career. ABC stated that she received a Medal of the Order of Australia for her services to cycling around three years ago.<\/p>\n
Notably, Paige Greco\u2019s childhood was not so easy as she was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at the time of birth. She even spoke about it on various occasions. According to Minerva Network, Paige never realized that she was born with the problem and was invited to the Paralympic Talent Search Day at a very young age.<\/p>\n
In 2022, Greco appeared for an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, opening up on the belief that individuals suffering from problems like Cerebral Palsy might not have an \u201cenriching\u201d romantic life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of people underestimate us, not understanding what we\u2019re actually capable of. My cerebral palsy is mild and, compared with other forms of it, also a little bit different. Relationships and good s*x: I can still do all of that stuff,\u201d\u00a0she added.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Greco Paige mentioned that she was initially uncomfortable discussing her problem with others. The 28-year-old stated that the topic was discussed only when she participated in events like the Tokyo Paralympics. Paige said that she never criticized anyone for discussing her issue, since the same people had praised her for achieving so much despite her health issues.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one really cares. It\u2019s maybe one of those things you place on yourself,\u201d\u00a0Greco continued.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The official website of Paralympic Australia stated that Paige Greco had even injured herself a year after the conversation. She suffered a concussion to the nose along with various wounds that needed stitches. During her childhood, she tried multiple games, but was suggested to try cycling instead, which she opted for over running. However, Greco reconsidered her decision after injuring herself.<\/p>\n
As of this writing, detailed information on Paige Greco\u2019s survivors remains unknown.
