A double-leg amputee due to injuries received in the War in Afghanistan, Soule uses a sit-ski in competitions. Biography and careerA native of Pearland, Texas, Soule attended Texas A&M University as a member of the Corps of Cadets; he was a student there when the September 11 attacks occurred. At the end of that school year, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and, after completing basic training, was deployed to Afghanistan.[2] On May 21, 2005, while on a security patrol in the Shinkay District, his Humvee was struck by an improvised explosive device. The explosion killed one soldier, destroyed Soule's legs, leading to their amputation above the knees, and lightly wounded two other soldiers. Soule was evacuated to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany and then transported to Fort Sam Houston, Texas, where he spent the next several years recuperating at Brooke Army Medical Center.[2][5] During his rehabilitation, Soule took up handcycling in order to stay active. In 2005, he attended a development camp of the Wood River Ability Program, run in conjunction with the U.S. Adaptive Cross Country Ski Team. Despite having scant skiing experience, he excelled at the new sport and only a year later moved to Sun Valley, Idaho, to train full-time. He took second place at the 2007 U.S. Championships and, after being named to the national cross-country ski team, finished the 2008 season 12th in the World Cup standings.[2] Soule represented the U.S. at the 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where he competed in cross-country skiing and the biathlon.[8] He won the bronze medal in men's sitting pursuit on the opening day of the Paralympics, becoming the first American to win a biathlon medal in the either the Olympic or the Paralympic Games.[1][2] References1. ^{{cite news |title=Army vet wins first U.S. medal in Paralympic Biathlon |author=U.S. Paralympics |newspaper=Army News Service |date=Mar 15, 2010 |url=http://www.army.mil/-news/2010/03/15/35863-army-vet-wins-first-us-medal-in-paralympic-biathlon/index.html }} [3][4][5]2. ^{{cite web |title=Soule's medal a historic feat |last=George |first=Josh |publisher=U.S. Paralympics |date=March 14, 2010 |url=http://usparalympics.org/news/2010/03/14/soule-s-medal-a-historic-feat/34547?ngb_id=15 |accessdate=March 17, 2010}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{Cite web | last = Evanitsky | first = Jennifer | title = Andy Soule: Army Veteran & 2010 Paralympic Hopeful | publisher = United States Olympic Committee | date = May 22, 2009 | url = http://usparalympics.org/news/2009/05/22/andy-soule-army-veteran-2010-paralympic-hopeful/13050 | accessdate = March 6, 2010 }} 4. ^1 {{Cite news | last = Harris | first = Kent | title = Memorial service set for Vicenza-based GI killed in Afghanistan | newspaper = Stars and Stripes | location = Washington, D.C. | date = May 26, 2005 | url = http://www.stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=29341 | accessdate= }} 5. ^1 {{Cite web |last = Bourrgeois |first = Beth |title = USOC Names the 2010 U.S. Paralympic Winter Games Team; 50 Athletes to Compete in Vancouver |publisher = United States Olympic Committee |date = February 26, 2010 |url = http://usparalympics.org/news/2010/02/26/usoc-names-the-2010-u-s-paralympic-winter-games-team-50-athletes-to-compete-in-vancouver/33885?ngb_id=15 |accessdate = March 6, 2010 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100817010200/http://usparalympics.org/news/2010/02/26/usoc-names-the-2010-u-s-paralympic-winter-games-team-50-athletes-to-compete-in-vancouver/33885?ngb_id=15 |archive-date = 2010-08-17 |dead-url = yes |df = }} }} External links
