The Real Oksana Masters | So ... You Want the Real Story? Ep. 4 | The Players' Tribune 

A strong, brave, and beautiful young woman. A generous, amazing, and open hearted mother. I have a great deal of respect for both of these women. Thank you, sincerely, for sharing this story. ❤️

Zero pity. Pain for the trauma you've had to endure, but complete admiration for a powerful human. Beautiful. 🎉❤

I never comment videos here on youtube, but this is a truly touching story. My admiration is yours ladies. The world needs more of your love, enthusiasm, persistance. Hope the best for you! Regards from Hungary! ❤️

Truly heartbreaking the depth of the trauma Oksana had to endure in this disgusting and disturbing brothel disguised as an orphanage. Oh those poor babies, truly hurts my heart. Incredible story of tragedy, love, healing, and triumph. Thank you so much for bringing this beautiful story and humans into the world.

Oksana... You are such a beautiful strong young woman... As a human I am so sorry for what tou went threw... I am so proud of you. Your mom is incredible too!!!! Keep going!!!! Love from Canada 🇨🇦!

The first thing I saw of her was her face. Not the legs. She inspires me, showing me what is possible. Incredible lady, thank you.

This lady has my great admiration - she is a great inspiration for me, I have much to learn from her

I don't really follow rowing or nordic skiing that much, so never knew about Ms. Masters. Shame on me. Found this video by way of The Players' Tribune IG. Inspirational story. An amazing woman raised by an amazing woman.

Köszi Telex. Aki Ukrajnában vagy bárhol a világon megerőszakol egy gyereket azt agyonverném de persze csak annyira hogy életben maradjon .

She's so strong and so beautiful! Thank you for sharing her story

This woman is far-by the most amazing one to have overcome all the hardships that she has experienced in her life. She is also definitely the top-notch most inspirational female in regards to what hardships in life truly are like the ones that she unfortunately experienced, but yet she went the extra mile and worked her way up to the US Paralympics from Adaptive Rowing to Biking and then Nordic Cross Country Skiing!!! I just finished reading her autobiography The Hard Parts as of last week and was touched so much by it in all of the past ten years of both hearing and knowing all what I know about her.🙂😉😓😢😥😞 Oksana, you are a truly amazing inspiration and role model for me and make feel very proud of you and all of your accomplishments that you have made as well as give me the confidence to not let any disappointments and shortcomings in life drag me down much less give up or lose hope after all that I have been through in my life dealing with Tourette Syndrome and High-functioning Autism, love you forever always, God bless you and hope to hear back from you eventually despite writing to you nine years ago, but I'm still praying!!!!😍 ❤ 😘 ♥ 💖 💕 As for you Ms. Gay Masters, you are an absolute humble and sincere woman to have went out of your way to adopt Oksana and bring her back to the US so that she could have a Mother as caring and loving like you as well as give her a whole new and way better life her regardless of her unfortunate circumstances between Tibial Hemimelia and becoming a prosthetic above-the-knee-amputee, you are true spirit, may the Lord bless you always ma'am!!!!!🙏 😊 ❤ ♥ 💖

She is an incredible inspiration to anyone, not only to people with disabilities!

What an inspiration. Thank you Oksana for sharing your story!

Thank you for sharing your life experiences. You are the definition of what a role model or hero is.

You are more than perfect! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.

Congratulations to Oksana on her gold medal today! Her first Summer Games gold.

I just watched you win another gold medal today. Congrats. The announcer said to go and find your story. Ive found 2. I am so happy that I did. The first thing I saw when I saw you was your smile. You have a beautiful smile and it shines even more when you speak of your mom. Keep that smile!!! Good luck in your future and thanks for sharing your story. My hope is that young girls and women never have to suffer but if they do I hope someone tells them of Oksana Masters!!!

Hola me gustaría saber si lo que dice se puede escuchar en español ,estoy muy interesado gracias

God is taking care of you and I love you too..

Oh, people can be so primitive and evil it is beyond my imagination.

It breaks my heart to hear Oksana say her childhood was so ugly. That ugly childhood made her special today. It wasn’t ugly it was amazing.
