Billy Monger Eyes LA28 Paralympics as Paratriathlete

Billy Monger is actively pursuing a spot on Team GB for the LA28 Paralympics, focusing on becoming a paratriathlete. This endeavor follows a severe 120mph Formula 4 crash in April 2017, shortly before his 18th birthday, which resulted in the amputation of both his legs. Despite significant setbacks and injuries during his intensive training, Monger is committed to his goal.

His ambition is to compete in a Paralympic event comprising a 750m swim, a 20km bike ride, and a 5km run. Monger acknowledged being a year behind his initial five-year plan but remains resolute in his pursuit of this high sporting achievement. His dedication has already led to a Guinness World Record for the fastest Ironman triathlon completed by a double-leg amputee in 2024.
