Lambert, 27, competed in the Tokyo Paralympics in the 100m T63. She lost her leg in a moped accident when she was younger and has been involved in parasports for years.

On the island, she met Medrano when the tribes merged in the middle of the season. Medrano became inspired by Lambert's participation in the Paralympics and opted to get involved himself. Medrano was born with Cerebral Palsy, and shared a little bit about his experience while on the show.

Medrano was voted out on Day 17 and finished in 9th place while Lambert was given the boot two nights later on Day 19 in 8th place. Both players voted for Mike Gabler to win at the Final Tribal Council.

You can catch Lambert, Medrano and the rest of Team USA in the Paralympics on Peacock.
