Today I read an article about William Stedman who had won a silver medal in the Tokyo Paralympic Games. Stedman was in fifth place with only one jump remaining. However, Stedman saved his best jump for last as he then leaped 5.64m to secure his medal in the T36 long jump. This final jump was a personal best and an Oceania record. Stedman now has three Paralympic medals after claiming the 400 and 800 meters at the 2016 Rio Paralympics.
