Dick Thompson, who lived from December 1930 to 1993, was a British Paralympic athlete who won six gold medals competing in track and field events. He was most successful at the 1960 Summer Paralympics, winning three golds in the javelin events, a gold in the club throw, a bronze in the shot put, and two medals with the men's wheelchair basketball team. His English Wikipedia article is brief, so this entry records its stated results and leaves further background until a source that covers it in more detail is found.
