Bruce Wallrodt, OAM[1] (26 September 1951 – 2 July 2019) was an Australian Paralympic athlete.
After leaving school, he worked as a fitter and turner until the age of 29, when he had a spinal haemorrhage that left him paraplegic.
[4] Sport to me was an extended arm of the rehabilitation process and made me realise that there was little that I could not do even if I had to do it from a wheelchair.
Competing and mixing with my peers showed me that the upper limits of my capabilities were far greater than I had thought possible.
[6] At the 1990 World Championships and Games for the Disabled in Assen, Netherlands he won gold medals in the Men's Shot Put and Discus F4 events.
