Irrepressible Jason Smyth still pushing the limits
What keeps a man like Jason Smyth running? Why would someone with 17 gold medals spread across the Paralympic Games and World and European championships continue to put his proud record of never having been bettered on the big stage on the line? What’s still in it for him?
He is 32 years old now. Smyth has a wife and two beautiful daughters, and plenty of interests besides athletics. Liverpool FC is another love in his life. He is a director of the Netball Northern Ireland board. There have been internships with banks and investment firms. Roles as brand ambassador for the likes of Toyota.
