Danny Crates, one of the UK’s most successful Paralympic athletes of the past decade is to retire this summer after one final race at the Aviva London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace on Saturday 25 July.
Crates, who famously won 800m gold in the T46 class at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens was also the flag bearer for Team GB at the 2008 Games. Unfortunately, he was unable to defend his title when a calf injury ruled him out on the eve of competing in Beijing.
His return to international athletics was blighted this summer when a hamstring injury at the Paralympic World Cup in Manchester in May forced him to pull out of the men’s T46 800m race when well placed with just 200m remaining. However, the 36-year-old can look back on a glittering career that has also seen him win World and European gold, as well as hold the world record in his class.
