Trischa Zorn

Zorn, who is legally blind, won 55 Paralympic medals, 41 of them gold, across seven Games from 1980 to 2004, still the most by any Paralympian. She raced in the visually impaired classes when fields were smaller than today, which matters when comparing totals, but her range from backstroke to medley and her dominance at Seoul 1988, where she won 12 golds, show how complete a swimmer she was.
