Early lifeZena Cole was born in Oregon, Ohio.[2] When she was 18-months-old she contracted polio and spent three years in an iron lung ventilator. Until she became 12 years of age, she used crutches and braces which she continued to break because she was playing baseball at the time. The doctors suggested that she should use a wheelchair. In 1991 she was diagnosed with a condition called post-polio syndrome which caused her to retire from the Ohio Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation.[3] CareerIn 2011, Cole won a silver medal at the 2011 IPC Athletics World Championships and the same year won a gold medal at the Parapan American Games.[2] She also participated at the 2012 Summer Paralympics where she won a bronze medal for discus throw of 5.29 metre. She participated in the 2013 IPC Athletics World Championships in Lyon, France, competing in discus and club throw.[4] In 2016 she beat her previous personal best of 4.89 metre with a 4.98 metre throw at the Women's Discus Throw in F52 category[5] but got a bronze medal.[6] Personal lifeCole has two children, a son and a daughter, and has raised three of her nieces. Besides discus throwing, she also enjoys traveling, photography and camping.[2] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.dominickevans.com/2012/09/the-united-states-needs-to-get-with-the-progam-paraolympics-coverage-not-shown-here/|author=Dominick Evans|title=The United States Needs to Get with the Progam – ParaOlympics Coverage Not Shown Here|date=September 8, 2012|accessdate=April 18, 2018}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.teamusa.org/Athletes/CO/Zena-Cole.aspx|title=Zena Cole|publisher=United States Olympic Committee|work=Team USA|accessdate=April 18, 2018}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.toledoblade.com/Olympics/2012/07/31/Oregon-woman-dreams-gold.html|title=Oregon woman dreams gold|author=Carl Ryan|newspaper=Toledo Blade|date=July 31, 2012|accessdate=April 18, 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.toledoblade.com/sports/2013/01/22/Paralympic-medalist-to-compete-again.html|title=Paralympic medalist to compete again|newspaper=Toledo Blade|date=January 22, 2013|accessdate=April 18, 2018}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://billingsgazette.com/sports/olympics/zena-cole-women-s-discus-throw-f-final-throw-paralympic/youtube_148f65d0-223d-5868-92a7-2e55c040d3a5.html|title=Zena Cole {{!}} Women's Discus Throw F52 Final Throw 3 {{!}} 2016 Paralympic Games |newspaper= Billings Gazette |date=September 14, 2016 |accessdate= April 18, 2018}} 6. ^{{cite news|author=Kristian Walsh|author2=Didrik Ottesen|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/olympics/paralympic-sport/9527492/Paralympics-live.html|title=Paralympics live|work=The Daily Telegraph|date=September 7, 2012|accessdate=April 18, 2018}} External links
