Nathan Stephens

Nathan Stephens (born 11 April 1988) is a Welsh former Paralympian athlete competing mainly in category F57–58 throwing events.

As a youth he joined the Cardiff Huskies ice sledge hockey team, which led to an interest in sport.

[2] He began competing in athletic competitions in 2003 at the age of 15, winning the gold in discus, javelin and shot put at the Junior British Championship.

[4] In 2011, Stephens won the gold at the Paralympic Athletics World Championships in New Zealand, recording a lifetime best of 39.11 metres in the javelin.

[8] Stephens later complained that in the previous 2011 World Championships his action was deemed legal, and was deeply unhappy at the official's decision.
