Graham Edmunds is one of the most popular and richest Swimmer who was born on September 22, 1974 in Reading, England, United Kingdom. Paralympic swimmer who won consecutive gold medals in the 4×100 meter freestyle in 2004 and 2008.
He is one of Great Britain’s many Paralympic gold-medalists, along with athletes such as Clare Cunningham.
In October 2000 Edmunds was knocked off his motorcycle whilst riding to work on the A4. His injuries were so severe that doctors considered amputating both of his legs and believed that he would never walk again. He spent three months with his legs in casts before beginning swimming again as part of his physiotherapy routine. Because he had limited movement in his ankle joints he qualified as a disabled swimmer in the S10 category. When Edmunds met the British Paralympic coach Billy Pye he decided to begin training for the 2004 Summer Paralympics, but had to move to Swansea to make use of the High Performance Training Centre as Reading had no Olympic-size swimming pool.
Edmunds made his first appearance at the Paralympics in 2004. He competed in two individual S10 classification freestyle events as well as the 4×100 m freestyle 34 pts relay team. In the individual 100 m he was knocked out in the heats but he made the final of the 50 m finishing in sixth. The relay team, which also featured David Roberts, Robert Welbourn and Matt Walker, set a new world record time of 3 59.62 seconds to win the gold medal ahead of Australia on the day of Edmunds 30th birthday.
He was born in Reading, Berkshire.
