Kym Crosby is representing Team USA, and a whole lot more.
Crosby was born with albinism, meaning she has no pigment in her hair, skin and eyes. With no pigment in her eyes, she is legally blind.
"But then it wasn't until my first track meet where I won my 100-meter race and I was like, 'Whoa. I didn't know that I was that fast.' And everybody was shocked," she said.
"Now people don't believe me that I was shy because they can't get me to shut up," she said.
"It gives me the platform to tell other girls like me that it doesn't matter what hurdle you have in front of you, you can get over it and achieve anything you set your mind to," she said.
"And I was like, wait, all the way in Texas? And I'm from this small town? And there's somebody in Texas who knows me and follows me? And she also has albinism," said Crosby.
"I have a voice and I can use this. I know there's other people out there like me who can also benefit from this. It has helped me in so many ways," she said.
In a full-circle moment, she trained for the world championships in India on her old high school's track.
