Medal record

Liu Yang (born 10 April 1990) is a Paralympian athlete from China competing mainly in T54 classification sprint events.[1] Before achieving success as an athlete, Liu ventured into para-cycling, but switched shortly after his international cycling debut.

Paracycling career[edit]

Liu took up para-sport in 2006, and at first looked at para-cycling where he was classified as a handcyclist. He competed at the 2007 UCI Para-Cycling World Championships in Boudreaux, where he failed to qualify for the final of the road race, and finished 17th in the time trial.

Athletics career[edit]

Liu first represented China as a wheelchair racer at the 2011 IPC Athletics World ChampionshipsinChristchurch, New Zealand. He finished sixth in the T54 100m sprint and was part of the gold medal-winning relay team men's 4 × 400 m (T53/54).[2]

The next year Liu appeared at his first Summer Paralympic, the 2012 Games in London. He was again part of the Chinese team that took gold in the men's 400 metre relay, and also won an individual medal; silver in the 100m sprint. Further success came at the 2015 World Championships in Doha, with a relay gold and two further first places in the 100m and 400m sprints.[2]

Personal history[edit]

Liu was born in Jinzhou, China in 1990. A tumor to his spine left him with paraplegia.[2]
