“Brad and Team USA’s amazing athletic performance demonstrated
to the world that people are defined by their ability, not their
physical limitations,” said Michael Concannon, executive vice
president of Group Benefits at The Hartford. “We congratulate Brad
and all of the U.S. Paralympic athletes who represented our country
so successfully at this year’s Games.”
Retired U.S. Navy Lt. Brad Snyder, who won a gold medal in
swimming at the London 2012 Paralympic Games exactly one year after
an explosion from an improvised explosive device (IED) in
Afghanistan cost him his vision, is The Hartford’s national
Paralympic ambassador this year. He has appeared in the company’s
advertising and represented the insurer at events, including South
By Southwest, the annual film, music and technology festival in
Austin, Texas. He and U.S. Paralympian Alana Nichols spoke on a
panel about technology and disability and how prevailing is
possible when you have the right resources and team behind you.
The Team USA Awards, which will be televised on NBC Sports
Network (NBCSN) on Tuesday, Oct. 4 from 10-11 p.m. ET, recognize
the outstanding achievements of Team USA athletes at the Rio 2016
Olympic Games and Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
