Nathan Stephens photographed by Bettina von Zwehl (Road To 2012) NATHAN STEPHENS AGE: 24. SPORTS: JAVELIN, SHOT PUT & DISCUS Welsh athletics competitor, Nathan Stephens, is living proof that giving up hope is not an option when aiming for success. After losing his legs in a train accident aged nine, Stephens built up his upper-body strength and had been spotted by an athletics talent scout by the age of 13. In the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing, Stephens narrowly missed out on a medal, coming fourth overall in the javelin throw and eighth and 11th in shotput and discus, respectively. He wasn’t expecting to do so well and is rightly proud of this achievement, which has spurred him on to even greater success. Stephens won gold at the Paralympic Athletics World Championships in January 2011, and set a World Record in the men’s F57 javelin throw in August of the same year. With a throw of 41.37m at the Czech Athletics Open, he proved he will be a contender at the <strong>London</strong> 2012 Games. Shoulder surgery this past winter has been somewhat of a setback for Stephens. His first throw in more than four months was at the BT Paralympic World Cup in May, where he was beaten to the gold, but with things on the injury front looking up, his Paralympic prospects remain promising. He is well on the road to recovery and ready to rise to the occasion this summer.
