Paralympic Power Couple Getting Ready for Tokyo Paralympic Games

Following the Summer Olympics, the 2021 Paralympics will start August 24 in Tokyo. Just like the Olympics, San Diego will be well represented by local Paralympians, two of which are married. Erik Hightower and Kym Crosby Hightower are not only husband and wife, they’re Team USA teammates. Erik is a wheelchair sprinter, while Kym competes as a sprinter in visually impaired events. NBC 7’s Todd Strain visited with the American power couple at a recent pre-paralympic photoshoot at Challenged Athlete’s Foundation with local photographer Donald Miralle.
