Çiğdem Dede

Gymnastics and Strength Sports

Çiğdem Dede is a Turkish Paralympic powerlifter who competes in the women's 44 kilogram division. She was born on 27 February 1980 in Gaziantep, Turkey, and lifts for the Ankara Guven Spor club. Her best-known result is the silver medal she won at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London. She is a dwarf athlete, and the English Wikipedia article records that she became paralyzed at the age of six after a wrongly given injection in her leg. The article is short and rests on Turkish sports ministry and London 2012 sponsor pages, so this entry records only what those lines support: her birth date and place, her division, her club, her coaching and the Paralympic silver.
