I don't get it - did the accident when she was hit by the bicycle indirectly cause her to regain use of her legs? Wow. Or did she improve despite being hit by the bike? Either way, good for her.

The Dutchwoman was on track in her preparation towards the 2012 Paralympic Games when she was hit by a bicycle while training in her wheelchair in the spring of last year. This third roadside accident of her career saw the now 27-year-old enter a lenghty rehab period, during which she gradually recovered the use of her legs. On November 20, 2010, she started walking again.

It seems she regained the use of her legs during therapy after being hit by the cyclist.
