Scout Bassett Biography

Scout Bassett spent seven years in a government-run orphanage in Nanjing, China after she was abandoned on the side of a street following the loss of her right leg and suffered severe burns from a chemical fire as an infant. Given a makeshift prosthetic leg patched together from leather belts and masking tape, she never stepped outside of the orphanage before being adopted by an American couple from Michigan in 1995.

Still learning the English language, Bassett joined sports as a way to connect with her peers. She tried basketball, softball, golf, and tennis before competitively racing in track & field and triathlons. At 14, she was introduced to the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), who gave her a grant to fund her training while also allowing her to attend running clinics and mentor young amputees. She worked her way to qualify for her first U.S. Paralympic Team in 2016. In pursuit of her Paralympic dreams, Scout competed at the 2012 U.S. Paralympic Track and Field London Trials, where she placed 2nd in the 200m and 3rd in the 100m.

Standing at 4’9”, Scout is a 7-time National Champion in the 100m. She is currently the World Record holder in the 400m and Americas Record holder in the 200m. Prior to competing in track, Scout was on the USA Paratriathlon National Team, where she won 3 silver medals and 1 bronze medal at the ITU Paratriathlon World Championships.

Off the track, Bassett is a Women’s Sports Foundation board member, a member of the Gatorade Women’s Advisory Board, the WHOOP Women’s Performance Collective and co-host of BBC Sport’s acclaimed podcast On "The Podium." She was also featured in season 2 of "The Greatness Code" on AppleTV+, which debuted in May 2022.

Bassett also spends time as a mentor, activist for people with disabilities, athlete ambassador and motivational speaker and is a unique and inspiring role model for all people to dream big and believe. Bassett's book, "Lucky Girl," will be released in September 2023 alongside the Scout Bassett Fund, which will offer financial grants to young athletes with disabilities to support the extensive cost of competing at the elite level.
