Chris Hallam, an MBE who lived from 31 December 1962 to 16 August 2013, was a Welsh Paralympian and wheelchair athlete who competed at four Paralympic Games, at Stoke Mandeville in 1984, Seoul in 1988, Barcelona in 1992 and Atlanta in 1996, and at two Commonwealth Games, in Auckland in 1990 and Victoria, British Columbia in 1994. He was born in Derbyshire, raised in Cwmbran in South Wales and attended Llantarnam School. In 1984 he won a gold medal in the 50 metre breaststroke, though his biggest impact came on the track and road. His count of Paralympic golds is left open until a source that states it is found.
