Andrew Small was inspired to take up the sport after attending the 2012 Paralympic Games in London as a spectator.
At the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, Andrew competed in the Men’s T33 100m and achieved a bronze medal with a personal best time of 17.96 seconds. Three years later at the World Para Athletics Championship in Dubai, Andrew claimed the silver medal.
And he reached the top of the podium at Tokyo 2020, winning gold in the T33 100m in a time of 17.73.
A blistering start from Andrew proved crucial as defending champion Ahmad Almutairi of Kuwait threatened to snatch victory by closing the sizeable gap, only to cross the line a tenth of a second behind.
Andrew’s success was an improvement on the bronze he won behind Almutairi at Rio 2016, with third place on the podium on this occasion going to his ParalympicsGB teammate Harri Jenkins in a season’s best 18.55secs.
