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.
