THE U.S. GYMNASTICS TRIALS ARE UNDERWAY AT TARGET CENTER. BUT JUST A FEW BLOCKS OVER ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT. TEAM TRIALS. THE U.S. PARALYMPIC TEAM TRIALS ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE POOL AT THE GENE KAY FREEMAN AQUATIC CENTER. AHMAD HICKS HAS THE SPECIAL STORY OF ONE ATHLETE WHO OVERCAME NUMEROUS OBSTACLES TO CONTINUE DOING WHAT SHE LOVES. TRAINING FOR. ANY SPORTS EVENT HAS ITS OWN CHALLENGES, BUT TRY GETTING IN PARALYMPIC SHAPE JUST 15 MONTHS AFTER GIVING BIRTH. IT WAS IT WAS A JOURNEY. JAY SNYDER AND 15 MONTH OLD CHARLOTTE WATCH CLOSE BY AS THEIR SUPERHERO MALLORY WEGMAN FOUGHT THROUGH PERSONAL STRUGGLES TO FIND JOY IN THE POOL AGAIN. ANY NEW MOM KNOWS OR ANY NEW PARENT, THERE'S AN ADJUSTMENT PERIOD. AND FOR ME, MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH WAS DEFINITELY A PART OF MY JOURNEY POSTPARTUM. A THREE TIME PARALYMPIAN, WEGMAN ONCE QUESTIONED IF SHE'D GET BACK IN THE POOL AFTER A LENGTHY BATTLE WITH IVF THAT LASTED 18 MONTHS, INCLUDING 707 INJECTIONS. AND IT WASN'T FOR TIMES. IT WASN'T FOR RECORDS, IT WASN'T FOR MEDALS. IT WAS NOTHING. IT WAS JUST FOR THAT LOVE. AND SEEING CHARLOTTE AT THE END OF THE LANE LINE IS WHAT HAS PUSHED HER. EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE BIRTH. CHARLOTTE HAS BEEN ON CLOSE TO 50 FLIGHTS, MAKING SURE SHE'S RIGHT THERE FOR HER MOM AND LEARNING ALL THE LESSONS. WEGMAN IS PASSING DOWN THAT WHEN YOU'RE COURAGEOUS ENOUGH, COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE TO DREAM THOSE BIG DREAMS AND YOU'RE WILLING TO DO THE WORK TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON IT, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. AND I SO WANT HER TO KNOW THAT WHATEVER THOSE DREAMS ARE THAT SHE HAS, SHE'S WORTHY. FOR SNYDER. WHETHER WEGMAN MAKES IT TO PARIS OR NOT, SHE'S ALREADY WON IN HIS BOOK. SHE'S FIGHTING FOR SOMETHING BIGGER. SHE'S FIGHTING FOR A PATH FORWARD FOR CHARLOTTE TO SHOW THAT, AS SHE SAYS, MOTHERHOOD IS NOT A PERIOD. IT'S A COMMA. REPORTING FOR FOX NINE. I'M AHMAD HICKS AND MALLORY WEGMAN FINISHED FIRST IN THE 50 METER BUTTERFLY EVENT.
