F64 discus

Five years after his professional rugby career was cruelly cut short when he suffered life changing leg injuries in a freak accident while playing a match in 2015, Walsh is back in full-time sport as a discus thrower.

Walsh set a new F44 world shot put record of 15.73m at the 2019 World Para Athletics Grand Prix in Grosseto, Italy.

He has since picked up two international bronze medals - the first in Poland at the 2021 European Championships, and then in Birmingham one year later representing Wales at the Commonwealth Games.

Harrison sadly missed out on competing in the Tokyo games due to an injury but is back and ready to show the world his talents in Paris.
