This research aims to structure the biography of a Colombian paralympic sport woman, in order to recognize sport as a means of transformation in the individuals’ life. Semistructured interviews were made to Colombian paralympic sportwoman Naiver Ome, her coach, her fiancé, her sister and a friend of her. Key questions were classified under eight categories: social, sporty, educational, medical, religious, legal and economic. Through this history sport is identified as an important means to transform a disabled person.
