## Caption

On Feb. 15, 2018, Diana Jordan was attacked by her soon-to-be ex-husband. He shot a bullet into her femoral artery.

After 30 operations within the first six weeks after her attack, leading to the amputation of her left leg at the hip joint, Jordan spent the next four months in the hospital fighting for her life.

When she returned home, she weighed just 74 pounds.

The road to recovery took years, but through unwavering perseverance and grit, Jordan embraced her challenges and found strength and community through CrossFit, leading her to the biggest stage in the Sport of Fitness: the Adaptive CrossFit Games. 

There is one thing Jordan has accepted since her attack: “Life is difficult and you just keep going … you just don’t quit.”

Adapting her life to the loss of her leg is hard. Showing up to CrossFit every day and putting in the work is hard. Training to become one of the fittest women on Earth as an adaptive athlete is hard. 

“You may need to slow down. You may need to rest, but you just get up and you keep going, and you’ll eventually get through the workout, through difficult times, through everything,” she said. “Anybody can do (CrossFit). Get in the box, get going, and you will figure it out, and people will be there to help you.”
