Ian Marsden
Ian trains at the National Water Sports Centre,
In Nottingham ‘cos he lives in Stoke-on-Trent,
And is a para-canoeist with many sports prior:
Powerlifting, handcycling and shooting’s tent.
Born in 1972 on the 25th of January’s month,
In 1992 Ian suffered a bad sporting accident,
Which restricted him to a wheelchair’s moth,
And he later got a motor condition divergent.
In 2014 at the ICF World Champs. in Moscow,
Ian won the silver medal in the K1 200 metres,
Then in 2015 at the ECA Euros in Czech’s sow,
Ian won a gold medal, again in the K1 200m.
So in Rio 2016 at the Summer Paralympics,
He smashed his personal best to win a bronze,
In the 200m which he completed in 51.22secs:
“Not disappointed. I’m very happy to win bronze.”
