‘Survivor’ alum Ryan Medrano wins silver medal at 2024 Paralympics in the men's 100-meter T38 race

'Survivor' contestant Ryan Medrano won the silver medal in the men's 100-meter T38 race at the 2024 Paralympics in Paris.

Medrano competed on Survivor 43 in fall 2022, ultimately finishing in 9th place after becoming a fan-favorite for his persistent spirit and constant fishing escapades. The runner also told the Texas Standard that Survivor was the key to his athletic career because fellow season 43 competitor Noelle Lambert first encouraged him to pursue the Paralympics. After running track at the 2020 Tokyo games in 2021, the Survivor alum is set to take on the women's long jump and expected to break records.
