Paralympic Athletes Train at HFA-Member Clubs

Paralympic alpine skier Ravi
Drugan, age 34, is a member of Downtown Athletic Club (DAC) in
Eugene, Oregon.

In 2004, Drugan lost both of his legs after surviving being hit by a train. His
injury led his parents to introduce him to alpine skiing through Oregon
Adaptive Sports. Drugan joined the U.S. Para Alpine team in 2017 and has since
become a Paralympian (2022) and has had lots of success on the World Cup and
national circuit. Drugan earned a bronze medal at the 2015 X Games in Mono
Ski-Cross.

Having spent most of his childhood in Eugene, Drugan returns home during the
off-season and stops by to train at the DAC.

“Paralympic Alpine Skier Ravi Drugan trains year-round for his moment
in the spotlight, whether at Mt. Bachelor, Utah, Colorado, Sweden, Italy, or
any other breathtaking mountain range,” the club posted on its social
media. “It’s always a joy to welcome him back, and even more gratifying to
witness his success.”

Best wishes to Oberst, Drugan, and all of the Paralympians competing this
summer!
