Allison Jones (athlete)

Allison Jones (born May 12, 1984 in Amarillo, Texas) is a Paralympic skier and cyclist for the United States of America.

She was born with the birth defect proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD), which left her without a right femur.

She underwent surgery at age 7 months to amputate her right foot, allowing her to more easily wear a prosthetic leg.

Before that she had won silver medals in the super-G and the giant slalom in the 2002 Winter Paralympics.
