Steven Midhurst is this morning celebrating his gold medal success in the Paralympics 100 m sprint. Yesterday, in the packed stadium of Sydney, Australia, where the games have been taking place all week, Steven ran the race of his life to cross the line in the gold medal position. For any athlete a championship medal is the ultimate achievement, but for Steven it was also the culmination of years of determination and courage. The 23 year old was just 6 when he had to have his right leg amputated below the knee. When he joined the local athletics club he never dreamt that he would end up an Olympic champion. Now, thanks to the pioneering work of sports scientists and the doctors at Melbourne’s St Peter Hospital, Steven has been able to take advantage of the latest sports technology, a new prosthetic sports leg. Certainly, the benefits the artificial leg will bring to sports women and men all over the world could be seen yesterday in Sydney, when Steven Midhurst showed the world what a powerful combination courage and innovation can be.
