Krige Schabort lost his legs nearly 30 years ago, but not his competitive zeal; at 51, former South African now is world champion paratriathlete

Krige Schabort lost his legs while serving with the South African army in the 1980s, but has been a champion wheelchair racer. Since taking up triathlon, he's won the Ironman two times and now is a world champion. At the Rio Paralympics in 2016, he could be on the U.S. team in the sport's debut.
