Whilst Kaleigh Gilchrist was celebrating an unprecedented third straight world championship for the U.S. women’s water polo team in 2019, a balcony at a nightclub she was at collapsed, killing two people and creating a chaotic scene in the southern city of Gwangju, South Korea. After the traumatic experience leaving her with injuries to her left leg, she had a long road of recovery to repair her physical and mental health to make it to the Olympics in Tokyo 2021.
