Footballer who survived air crash may compete in Paralympics

Brazilian goalkeeper Jakson Follmann, one of the six survivors from 2016's Chapecoense air crash, said he wants to compete in the Paralympics as a swimmer. The lower half of Follmann's right leg was amputated following the crash, which killed 19 of his Chapecoense teammates. Follmann said swimming could allow him to make a comeback and he's anxious to compete again.
