'Fearless' Oksana Masters has made transition from Paralympic rowing medalist to cross country skiing, with an eye on Sochi

Oksana Masters survived much in her early years, including the loss of her legs because of radiation poisoning from Chernobyl and spending seven years in a Ukrainian orphanage. But since being adopted and raised in Kentucky, Masters has become a powerful rower, model and inspiration. Now, she's attacking cross country skiing and biathlon on a sit ski, and loving the new challenge. My story on Masters for TeamUSA.org: http://www.teamusa.org/US-Paralympics/Features/2014/January/01/Masters-ing-the-art-of-Nordic-skiing
