Wojtek Czyz (born 30 July 1980) is a German para-badminton player representing New Zealand[1] and former track and field athlete from the Polish part of Silesia.

[2] He ran for a loose ball, when the opposing goalkeeper rammed his knee, causing multiple fractures and compartment syndrome.

Eleven months after his amputation, at the German Championships in 2002, Czyz broke the national record for F42 long jump and won the T42 100m event.

After his sports career, Czyz sailed around the world with his wife Elena Brambilla to help amputees to get prosthetics for free and teach them how to walk with the project sailing4handicaps.

After the project, Czyz and Brambilla set up a mānuka honey company called Manuka Royale [1] in New Zealand where they dedicate their passion for nature.
