Ross Wilson

Ross holidayed as a kid once at Center Parcs, Where he first played the sport of table tennis, And he loved it so much ‘cos he was so good, That a member of staff remarked on his ability. He was successful, ranking in the world top ten, But later, in 2011 he was genetically diagnosed, With multiple epiphyseal dysplasia of the bones, And was glad to be welcome in disability sport. He was the youngest table tennis team member, At the London Paralympics where he came fourth, In the singles, so he did well considering his age, ‘Cos his inexperience didn't hinder or scare him. In the team contests at these joyous 2012 Games, Ross and Aaron McKibbin won the bronze medal, Which ranked him as No. 2 on the worldwide scale, But he then got a shoulder injury which he nursed. 2014 and Ross took the gold in the International, At the Cote d’Azur, so 2015 saw him take silvers, In Hungary and Italy, but then he was injured again, In his knee, elbow and he strained back muscles. However, at the Lignano Master Open in Italy, 2016, Ross won with teammates a bronze, so in Rio grand, He took another bronze with the team. He’s a fighter, Born on 5th June 1995 in Minster and trains Sheffield.
