Tomasz Rebisz (born 2 February 1974) is a Paralympian athlete from Poland competing mainly in F46 classification throwing events.[1]

Athletics history

Rebisz was always interested in sport but took up athletics seriously in 1992. He was selected for the Poland national team at the 1996 Summer Paralympics in Atlanta, entering the shot put, javelin and discus throw events in the T46 classification.[2] He won medals in all three, silver in the discus and shot put and bronze in the javelin. He followed this with three more medals at the 1998 IPC Athletics World Championships in Birmingham, including gold in the shot put. The International Paralympic Committee then decided to remove all T46 throwing event from their Paralympic schedule, leaving Rebisz unable to compete at the highest level of his sport.

Personal history

Rebisz was born in Koszalin, Poland in 1974.
