In 2012, an elbow injury cost up and coming British javelin thrower Dan Pembroke, then only 21, the opportunity to compete at his home Olympic Games. At the time he competed as a standard able-bodied athlete, although he had suffered from progressively more serious vision impairment from the age of six. Disheartened, Pembroke left the sport, but returned seven years later at the invitation of the British Paralympic Association as his eyesight had now degenerated to the extent that he qualified in the F13 paralympic classification. In Tokyo, he won gold in an empty stadium with a throw of 69 metres.

Now 33, Pembroke came to Paris with two goals; to win his second Paralympic gold in front of a full house in Stade de France, and to make a throw approaching his best efforts from his younger able-bodied athletics days.

In round 4 of the Paris event, he achieved both goals, obliterating the world, European and Paralympic Games records, not to mention the field, with an enormous throw of 74.49 metres, three and a half metres beyond the previous world mark, almost five metres further than the third round throw of the silver medal, Ali Pirouj of Iran, and more than 10 metres beyond anyone else in the field. An Americas record of 62.51 metres was enough to bring Ulicer Aguilera of Cuba the bronze medal.

A South American record from Mauricio Valencia of Colombia was not enough to threaten the dominant Iranian, Saeid Afrooz, who bettered his own world record on three occasions in the final.
