Jason Smyth (28), a visually impaired sprinter from Derry, is officially the ‘fastest Paralympian on the planet.’ He won T13 gold at both 100m & 200m in the 2008 Beijing and 2012 Paralympics and won his fifth gold by retaining his T13 100m title at the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janiero in September.
