Notice bibliographique
Résumé
A six-time Paralympian and six-time World Champion wheelchair racer, Jeff Adams has shown the world how to find opportunity in adversity. Born in Brampton, Ontario, as an infant Jeff underwent radiation therapy to treat cancer. These treatments saved his life but permanently damaged his spinal cord, and Jeff began using a wheelchair at the age of nine. An athletic child, his love for sport helped him overcome the challenges of adapting to life with a physical disability. Learning to use his wheelchair as a piece of athletic equipment, Jeff quickly discovered new ways to fulfill his potential. Powered by courage and determination, he quickly ascended to elite levels of competition on the international wheelchair racing circuit. Between 1988 and 2008, he competed in six consecutive Paralympic Games, capturing an outstanding total of thirteen medals. Highlighting his winning ways, at the Paralympic Games in 2000, Jeff captured gold medals in both the 1500m and 800m races, silver in the 400m event, and bronze medals in both the 5000m race and 4x100 relay.\nOne of Canada’s most successful Paralympic athletes, Jeff Adams’ competitive achievements have inspired his equally dynamic brand of activism. Serving as a spokesperson, journalist and media commentator, Jeff has often leveraged his athletic achievements to advocate for accessibility and lend support to organizations that promote equality for people with disabilities. Unafraid to put himself in the public eye for a good cause, at one point he climbed all 1,776 steps of the CN Tower in a specially designed wheelchair to raise funds for accessibility awareness. Jeff has also served as Chair of the Accessibility Committee for the Toronto 2008 Olympic Bid Committee and Chair of the Ontarians with Disability Advisory Council.\nJeff Adams has worked diligently to improve public support for what Canadian Paralympic athletes are capable of achieving at elite levels of competition. Recently, he helped integrate the Canadian Paralympic program into Athletics Canada, where it is now administered more equitably alongside able-bodied sport disciplines. Years of experience contributing to innovative wheelchair design while competing on the international racing circuit have also helped Jeff find success in the world of business, where he has founded two wheelchair companies. His determination and passion to realize life’s possibilities when faced with adversity have helped transform the way people across Canada and around the world perceive adaptive sport disciplines and athletes with disabilities.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
