Its been 30 years since the Chernobyl disaster sent a radioactive cloud over much of Europe, but American three-time paralympian Oksana Masters still lives with it every day.Masters was born in Ukraine with legs of a different length without shin bones, five webbed fingers without a thumb, six toes on each foot and one kidney.Its amazing that I am even here, she said.I am very lucky to be living my dream.The 27-year-old has rebuilt her life through sport, making her cycling debut at the Rio Games after a career in Paralympic rowing, cross-country skiing and biathlon.Masters mother was exposed to the radioactive fallout from the nuclear reactor accident of 1986.Police would tour her village in Ukraine warning people to board up the windows and doors of their homes and stay indoors for days when radiation clouds blew past.Masters spent the first seven years of her life in an orphanage where she suffered lack of food, physical and sexual abuse.Many memories are blocked out, but Masters said workers used to pimp out the kids.When Masters foster mother Gay brought her to America, her life transformed.Her legs were amputated above the knee, the first operation when she was nine years old and the second five years later.The minute Masters got out of hospital, she was determined to take advantage of every minute.Masters, who posed nude for ESPNs 2012 Body Issue, says shes been through her share of psychiatrists but sport has been the most healing. Sport has definitely been an outlet for me, she said.Masters won a bronze medal for rowing at the London Games but sustained a back injury in 2013 and began competitive cycling the following year.She claimed silver and bronze medals in Paralympic cross-country skiing events at Sochi 2014.Masters doesnt think about her past much these days.Just keep moving forward, she said.I am thankful for the experience. It has made me who I am. It has put me where I am right now and I am very happy to be here. Vapormax Mujer Baratas . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU. Vapormax Off White Baratas .

MIAMI -- Kemba Walker already knows one thing about these Charlotte Hornets.Were resilient, Walker said.That was proven in earnest Friday night.Walker scored 24 points and the Hornets erased a 19-point deficit in the third quarter on the way to beating Miami 97-91. Charlotte won in the building where its season ended in Game 7 of a first-round matchup last spring, albeit against a very different Heat team that played a home opener without Dwyane Wade on the roster for the first time since 2002.We could have given up, but we didnt, Walker said. We kept wanting it.Hassan Whiteside led Miami with 20 points and 15 rebounds but sat a long stretch of the second half with foul trouble and needed four stitches to close a gash on his left elbow.Down 65-46, Walker made a 3-pointer to unknowingly start what became a 29-point turnaround. The Hornets clamped down on Miami in the second half, with the Heat shooting 6 for 17 from behind the arc in the final 24 minutes -- and just 6 for 26 from 2-point range in that time. Charlottes reserves had 30 points after halftime, while the entire Miami roster combined for 34.One thing is we were able to stop their penetration more, Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. Our defense more energized the offense, and we got really good bench play.Jeremy Lamb scored 16 points for the Hornets, who had six players in double figures and turned the 65-46 hole into a 94-84 lead with 3 minutes left -- a 48-19 run in about 18 minutes. Nic Batum and Marco Belinelli each scored 12 points for Charlotte.Theyre a well-coached, veteran team, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. They werent punch-drunk or anything when we went up. ... We knew going in we would have to play a complete game against them and we werent able to do that.Goran Dragic scored 14 points and Dion Waiters added 13 for the Heat, who lost a home opener for the first time in nine years. Charlotte had runs of 12-0 and 9-1 in the third quarter alone.We just stopped gettingg stops, Heat forward Justise Winslow said.ddddddddddddThat was it.TIP-INSHornets: Roy Hibbert started at center, played the first 4:29, and did not return because of right knee soreness. Cody Zeller started the second half in his place. ... Frank Kaminsky (right foot strain) went through a pregame workout but was inactive. ... Belinelli now has 11 regular season appearances in Miami with seven different teams.Heat: Team captain Udonis Haslem grabbed a microphone and addressed the crowd before tip-off, promising them that we will play as hard as we can for you guys every night. ... The locker Wade used for the last several years is now empty, not assigned to any current Heat player. ... Wayne Ellington (right thigh bruise) and Josh Richardson (right knee) were again sidelined.FOR STARTERSMichael Kidd-Gilchrist just recently turned 23, missed most of last season with a shoulder injury and still made the 200th start of his Charlotte career on Friday night. Miamis entire starting five -- Dragic (100), Whiteside (77), Winslow (10), Luke Babbitt (2) and Waiters (2) -- now have a combined 191 starts in Heat colors.RILEY SPEAKSHeat President Pat Riley sat down with team broadcast outlet Fox Sports Sun before the game and raved about the job Spoelstra has done with a new group that was largely assembled after Wade left for Chicago this summer (and before Chris Bosh failed his physical in September to essentially end his time with the team).Theres a saying that Spo uses a lot, and I like to use it myself now ... when you look at a player, the player doesnt care what you know until he knows how much you care, Riley said. Spo and his staff cares a lot about these guys and these young players.UP NEXTHornets: Saturday, they play their home opener against Boston.Heat: Sunday, the homestand continues when San Antonio visits.
