CHANGE OF CLASSIFICATION
In 2015 his impairment classification was changed from S12 to S11 due to worsening vision. "Dropping down to S11 means I have to race with blacked out goggles because I'm also competing against guys that are totally blind. That does slow me down a bit but if I can get back to my best ever time that would be a world record." (communitynews.com.au, 09 Aug 2016)
