After an impressive international debut at the 2015 World Championships, teenager Woodhall underlined his credentials winning two medals at his first Paralympics in Rio.

Aged just 16, Woodhall, under the guidance of Brazilian coach Joaquim Cruz, won 400m T44 (49.05) silver and 200m T44 (22.09) bronze at the 2015 World Championships.

A year later he went to Rio and won 200m T44 silver (21.12) and 400m T44 (46.70) bronze, each time losing out on gold to New Zealand’s Liam Malone.

In the 200m he set personal bests in both the heats and final, whilst in the 400m final he smashed the Americas record.

Unsurprisingly, he was named 2016 Male High School Track Athlete of the Year by US Paralympics.

He was born with a fused right ankle and the condition fibular hemimelia in his left leg. At age 11 months both his legs were amputated below the knee.
