Toby Gold
Toby comes from London,
But he trains in Richmond,
Has a sporting degree from,
St Mary’s University pond.
Born on 27 September 1994,
And classed as a T33 sprinter,
He stuck it out at the UK door,
Until 2014 when he went further.
In Team GB for the first time,
In 2015 at Doha, Qatar State,
The World Champs. did rhyme,
With many sports people, fate.
Coming third he took a bronze,
So the next year at the Euros,
In 2016 in Grosseto, he had eons,
To win the gold against his foes.
So in Rio he collected silver,
In the men’s wheelchair race,
The T33 in the 100m scamper,
In which you grit and brace.
