In this episode of Airdrie Inside, Chris Glass sits down with Darby Beeson—Team Canada NextGen speed skater and clubfoot ambassador. Darby’s story is a masterclass in resilience. Born with a clubfoot and told by doctors she might never walk, Darby didn't just learn to run, she learned to fly on ice. From the gritty days of "Roller Darby" to training alongside Olympians, she has spent her life framing a solution to the physical and mental barriers placed in her way. Now, even a 100-metre fall down a mountainside and a broken ankle can't stop her mission for the 2030 Games.
"It's not about what you're doing when you're ten. It's about if you want that sport and if you love it and keep training in it... I don't believe there's any barriers of anyone saying anything that can stop you from being successful." — Darby Beeson
