Poem

Jordan was born with mild Cerebral Palsy,
But took part in the 2012 Paras at just 16,
Because he was born on 12th of October,
1996, and Rio was is second Paralympics.

“Even if you don’t like school, I would [def] 
encourage everyone to take part [and] enjoy
sport, be it badminton, swimming, athletics
…ask others…don’t be shy, just go for it.” 

Jordan made the London Paralympic finals, 
But he remembers the Swansea Europeans
With great pride, because his birthplace is
Cardiff, even tho’ he trains at Loughborough. 

In 2014 in Swansea he won a shining bronze,
For both his sprints - he runs in the T35 class. 
In the 100 and 200 he did pride by speeding, 
To the line by much strength, determination.

He says about sacrifices “I have a 300-mile 
round trip from home in Cardiff to my training
camp at Loughborough twice a week, so
again, that takes some determination.” Fixity. 

He feared he’d miss out on Rio’s Paralympics, 
Because his groin hurt him so much, exercising, 
Such that he thought he’d have to miss, bypass
The Euros in July in Italy, the entrance to Rio.

But a doctor at Nuffield Health’s Vale Hospital 
Inserted a nylon mesh in Jordan’s week groin, 
To reinforce it, but it is a partially dissolvable
Mesh so that he doesn’t feel it when running. 

Jordan won two more bronzes in Grosseto, 
In Italy in his skills, the 100 and 200 metres, 
And so competed in Rio de Janeiro gallantly,  
But sadly did not strike gold to top the charts.
