In an article written for the Daily Telegraph, Ade Adepitan singled Richard Whitehead out as the athlete to watch at the 2012 Paralympic Games.
It’s been quite a year for Richard which started in February at the IPC World Athletics Championships where he produced one of the performances of the competition to win the T42 200m. Still the reigning amputee marathon and half marathon world record holder, Richard added to his list of world best times by breaking the 200m record in June.

Richard Whitehead’s strength and conditioning coach Tim Stevenson added ‘It has been a fantastic year for Rich on the track and he has truly established himself as one of the best athletes in the world. To become a world champion sprinter within 12 months of breaking his own marathon world record is incredible.’
‘Whilst Ade has singled out Richard, the Paralympic world should also be watching swimmers Charlotte Henshaw and Ollie Hynd who are set to compete in what promise to be some of the most exciting and competitive races of the 2012 Paralympic Games, and both are focused hard on achieving success.’
