Chris Skelley

Chris was born on 9th July in 1993, And he fights every day in training, At the British Judo Centre in Walsall, A Centre of Excellence, producing. He lost his job as a car mechanic, Through his ocular albinism diagnosis, But now trains with determination, Professionally, to win the Paralympics. Competing in the -100kg category, Chris won three bronzes as a junior, Then at the Scottish Open in 2014, Won the gold; Welsh Senior, a silver. At the Euros in Portugal in 2015, He won bronze against a Russian, And in Seoul, still 2015, the Worlds, He took bronze: a Rio Paralympian.
