Chuck Aoki, Wheelchair Rugby

The Americans faced a stiff test in October when they traveled to Paris for the inaugural International Wheelchair Rugby World Cup, a competition featuring the eight highest-ranked teams in the world. Co-captain Aoki, a three-time Paralympic medalist from Minneapolis, led the U.S in scoring in each of the five games as the team placed sixth. A few weeks later, Aoki and Co. headed to Santiago, Chile, for the 2023 Parapan American Games. This time no one was stopping Team USA, as Aoki’s team-high 28 points led the Americans past Canada in the gold-medal game to secure the championship and a spot in next summer’s Paralympic Games.
