A schoolgirl mauled by a shark in Australia's Whitsunday Islands last month has had one of her legs amputated. The picture showed Hannah using a wheelchair for the first time during a visit by the champion swimmer. "Twelve-year-old Hannah lost her leg to a shark attack only three weeks ago while holidaying in the Whitsundays," Cole wrote. Cole, a six-time Paralympic champion, lost her right leg to a rare cancer as a 3-year-old. Barwick underwent an 18-hour surgery to save her right leg, Nine News Australia reports.
