World Champion Water-Skier Kristi Overton Johnson

Kristi Overton Johnson is a water skiing legend. She is an 8-time U.S. Masters Champion and a 4-time U.S. Open Women’s Slalom Champion. She has held the world record in women’s slalom since 1992 and has been ranked #1 in the world more times than any other professional women’s slalom competitor in history. But the most amazing thing about her career is that she has achieved much of her success despite the presence of a birth defect that limits her ability to walk and run without pain.
