DÜSSELDORF – Sam Grewe could end up missing the start of medical school to go to the Paralympics, and that will be fine with him.
With the games postponed until 2021, the Notre Dame student and Paralympic silver medalist in the high jump will face a packed senior year and graduation. “I would expect an extra element to the sense of urgency for the training next year,” the American said. “I might miss my first two weeks of medical school to be in Tokyo, which is so far from ideal ...
but I wouldn’t miss Tokyo for anything.” Along with the Olympics, the Paralympics have been pushed back to 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
