Aaron Mckibbin

Aaron was born with club foot, But had corrective surgery cool, So played tennis until aged 14, When he changed to table tennis. Very soon after, at the age of 16, He tried out for ParalympicsGB, Even tho’ he didn't see himself, As disabled in any way or form. He loved the thrill, excitement, Of competing against other folks, On the same level as himself, So entered many competitions. His first contest were Europeans, In Split which sits firm in Croatia, In 2011, and so qualified for 2012, The Paras that changed the world. Then 2014 he won team silver, In Slovenia, Slovenia and Italy, And in 2015, in Vejle in Denmark, He and his team won a bronze. In the China Open, the singles, Aaron won the gold triumphantly, And in the Lignano Master Open, They won team bronze with skill. In Rio he won the team gold, With Ross Wilson, Will Bayley; Born 27th August 1991, London, He lives and trains in Sheffield.
