Fort Hood Sergeant Salanoa-Tuioti Takes Nine Medals At Warrior Games

Tukiau Salanoa-Tuioti, hurt in 2018 and now facing a Medical Evaluation Board, won four golds in shot put, discus, rowing and powerlifting.

  • Won four golds (shot put, discus, one-minute rowing, powerlifting); two silvers, three bronzes total.
  • Injured in August 2018; now undergoes a Medical Evaluation Board after 10 years' service.
  • Nearly 200 wounded, ill and injured troops competed June 13-20 in San Antonio.

Why it matters: A medal count measures what adaptive sport restored, not what the medical board has yet decided.
