Congratulations to Stephen, following his fantastic silver medal win at the Beijing Paralympics. He came back from fourth position to set a new personal best with a throw of 34.37m, which was only surpassed by Tunisia's Mourad Idoudi's new world record of 35.77m. Stephen is sure to be disappointed not to have finished first, but he has a silver medal to add to his THREE gold medals, and is sure to be back for London 2012.
Stephen said, "Silver is better than fourth, but obviously I wanted to win. Overall I'm pleased with my performance. The athlete from Tunisia threw a massive PB, but that's sport... I am determined to come back from this and if I could get a medal, and gold, in London it would be a dream come true. I'll be training harder and be more prepared than ever to get that."

Stephen, all the best. I'm sure you'll do us all proud. Personally I'll be calling in sick for the entire course of the competition. Just for you.
Good luck, you are a true inspiration.
