Frederick George (Fred) Creba (1945–2013) was a New Zealand Paralympic sportsperson.
[2] In 1975, his sporting performances, including setting a world record in weightlifting, earned him the title of South Canterbury Sportsperson of the Year, the first disabled person to do so.
[2] Fred Creba trained in the Toc - H gym which in reality was just a set of equipment in a small garage.
Freddy's wit and toughness enabled him to go from a tiny town in the middle of nowhere to a Paralympic bronze medal and for that he has become a role model to me and for many others inspiring the average person to never give up and to not let your disables define you.
