Janice Boucher’s return to the world’s winners circle gives her the top spot in paNOW’s Top 10 Sports Stories of 2017.
Back in 1995, Boucher was a world archery champion. Though she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease three years ago, Boucher didn’t let that stop her from remaining as the best in the world at a sport. This past July, Boucher won two gold medals at the 2017 World Para Reining International Championship in July to return to world victory.
