Laurence Whiteley

Water and Boat Sports

Laurence Whiteley, born on 29 August 1991, is a British parasport rower who won gold with Lauren Rowles in the trunk-arms mixed double sculls at the 2016 Summer Paralympics, where the pair set a world record in the heats and went on to win gold in the final. He is from Northallerton in North Yorkshire and attended Hurworth House School and Polam Hall School. His English Wikipedia lead states only the 2016 title, so his total count of Paralympic golds is left open until a source that states it in one place is found.
