I’m delighted to say that the International Paralympic Committee has confirmed my new World Record, set at the BT Paralympic World Cup.

I was running in the same race, the Men’s 400m, as Oscar Pistorius and we both set new records. Mine was a new T42 World record with a time of 57.06s, Oscar set a new T43 World record with a time of 47.28 seconds. This beat his previous best time of 47.49s, set at the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games.
