Jack Eyers became a two-time world champion in 2022 after a huge couple of years racing the men's VL3 event.
He claimed his first world title in Copenhagen in 2021, producing what would come to be a trademark strong second half of the race to pip British teammate Stu Wood on the line.
Eyers would repeat the trick in 2022 for a second world title in Canada while that year he also claimed a first European crown.
He relinquished his world title in 2023 but still demonstrated his status as one of the globe's best by taking silver in Duisburg, a performance which also secured Britain’s boat quota spot for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
Eyers raced internationally for the first time in 2018, winning world and European bronze medals. He first began his sporting career in wheelchair basketball and also competed in wheelchair racing, athletics, rowing and swimming before finding his home in canoeing.
Fun fact about Eyers away from sport ‒ he became the first amputee to be crowned Mr England back in 2017.
