Discus great Dan Greaves eyes magnificent seventh Paralympic medal

Dan Greaves once competed in the same team as British athletics legend Mo Farah but whilst the latter is now retired the discus thrower is bidding for a national record-extending seventh successive Paralympics medal in Paris. At “the grand old age of 41” and with a gold, two silvers and three bronzes he embodies the advice he was once given by a coach “success isn’t final, failure isn’t fatal, it’s the courage to continue that counts”.
