Ann Hamanalau Yoshida (born October 10, 1977) is an American paracanoeist who competes in international level events. As well as canoeing, she is an occupational therapist.[1][2]
In 2000, Yoshida was paralysed from the chest down due to an accident in Utah when a truck went through a red light and hit her car. She had a brain injury and a ruptured aorta and was put into a medically induced coma to recover fully.[3][4]
