A dream come true ! I had the honour of representing Great Britain as part of the Paralympics GB squad at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games!

I was proud to take to the podium at this my first Games, having won the Silver Medal in the Men's Cat A Epee event.

 

Victory ! Winning the semi-Finals match against Zainulabdeen AL - Madhkhoori IRQ that took me through to the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games Final!

It was fantastic to win Gold in the Men's Cat A Epee event at the Warsaw World cup, Poland. July 2016.

This was the last event before the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games and so it was great to see that all of the training & adjustments that my coach Peter Rome and I had been doing working as we planned towards Rio !

GOLD !!

I was thrilled to take the Gold Medal in the Men's Cat A Epee event at the IWASF World cup in Pisa, Italy.
