Dan Greaves

Discus Dan originally competed in able-bodied events, In the discus which meant him throwing a 2kg discus, Rather than the Paralympian 1.5kg metal disc, contents, And is proud of his able-bodied Under-20 vest, a plus. But in Sydney in 2000 in the Paras he won the silver, And then in Athens the next time he threw a top gold, In Beijing in 2008 he got a bronze as he did deliver, ‘Cos at the F44 throw he has a sure and steady hold. Dan was born with a foot deformity, loved school sports, And takes great cheer from today’s huge Para ticket sales, Which are so much greater than they were before, quarts, Also also recalls receiving a medal whilst Mo had his sails.
