Gaz Choudhry
Gaz is a class 4.0 wheelchair basketball player,
He saw a roadshow when he was almost a teen,
From the UK Wheelchair Basketball Association,
Having become an amputee aged ten and keen.
He competed as a young teen, represented GB,
He’s originally from Pakistan but moved to Ealing,
And he won two golds and one silver immediately,
And so was chosen for the team for turkey, beaming.
In Beijing he was a reserve but now lived in Italy,
To play for their Porto Torres agile wheelchair team,
And in 2010 at the World Basketball Championship,
In Birmingham, his team placed 5th, cool and mean.
In 2011 Gaz went to the European Championships,
Which were in Nazareth, that renown town in Israel,
And here the GB team won gold to boast in tone,
So that Gaz is now going to Rio, a victory to nail.
