Paralympian #208 Will Stedman claims a stunning silver medal in the Men’s 400m T36 final to bank a fourth medal for the NZ Paralympic Team at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

Competing a little under 16 hours after finishing fourth in the Men’s Long Jump T36 the 24-year-old Christchurch-based athlete produced an outstanding display to record a national record of 52.92 behind defending champion James Turner of Australia who set a world record mark of 51.54.

For Stedman it was the fifth Paralympic Games medal of his career and a third successive Paralympic Games medal in the Men’s 400m T36 after winning bronze at both the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Games.
