Darren Kenny OBE (born 17 March 1970) is a British road and track racing cyclist and Paralympian.
Kenny's results have made him one of his sport's biggest stars; his dominance over multiple Paralympics gave rise to his nickname of 'Daz the Destroyer'.
In 1988, at the age of 19, an accident at the Tour of Ireland whilst descending the Wicklow Gap looked likely to have ended his career.
He competed at the British National Track Championships, achieving some good times, he was invited onto the Paralympic squad.
[7] Kenny was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours for services to disabled sport.
