Sport specific information
When and where did you begin this sport?
He began powerlifting in 2013 through the Samaritans Walk programme of Ashland Athletic Club in Virginia, United States of America.
Why this sport?
Coach Dave Brown from Ashland Athletic Club introduced him to bench press after noticing Largo's strength while he was doing other exercises. They then learned that Para powerlifting was going to be part of the Mid-Atlantic Games, so Largo began training for it. "The day that I competed in the Mid-Atlantic Games was when I knew I loved Para powerlifting and I knew that I wanted to compete and be a part of this sport for a long time."

Sporting philosophy / motto
"I'd like to be an inspiration to others, but I don't want to be the type of inspiration where it's like, 'Oh he's in a wheelchair, he's so inspiring'. I want to be inspiring because of who I actually am. If you took away the wheelchair, I would be just as inspiring. That's what I want to be to people." (rmcathletics.com, 26 Dec 2017)
