F63 shot put

Aled Davies went in to Paris 2024 the reigning and defending Paralympic and World Champion in the F63 Shot Put - a run he had maintained since 2013, before going on to claim a silver medal at his fourth Games in the Stade de France.

Davies’ potential was clear from an early age - even as a junior, he was a consistent performer, finishing on the podium at the IWAS World Junior Championships in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

His first Paralympic title came at London 2012 in a different event - the F42 discus, but due to a change in the programme, he has been a consistent shot putter.

Davies first broke the world record at the Lyon 2013 World Championships, where he threw 14.71m in the shot put. At the most recent 2024 Worlds in Kobe, he claimed his sixth consecutive gold with a throw of 15.60m.

He was made an MBE in the 2013 New Year’s Honours List before receiving an OBE in 2022. In 2019, he became a father for the first time to his daughter Phoebe.
