Peter Hull

Peter Hull, an MBE born on 6 December 1965 in Paris, France, is a British Paralympic gold medallist. He was born in France to English parents, without legs and with arms ending at the elbow, and from a young age attended Chailey Heritage School in Sussex. In his teens he boarded at the Hephaistos School in Arborfield, Berkshire, and he studied leisure and sport at Farnborough College of Technology. In 1975, aged nine, he won a gold medal at his first gala at the British Sports Association for the Disabled National Championships at Stoke Mandeville, though he was the only swimmer in his classification. His count of Paralympic golds is left open until a source that states it is found.
