Jaco van Gass, a British para-cyclist, triumphed at the Paris 2024 Paralympics just a week after being hit by a car, which left him with injuries and doubts about his ability to compete. Initially heartbroken and fearing his Paralympic career might be over, van Gass quickly recovered and returned to the velodrome, where he won the men’s C3 3000-meter individual pursuit, setting a new world record in the process. This victory marked his third Paralympic title and continued his remarkable comeback story, having previously lost his left arm in Afghanistan. Alongside teammate Fin Graham, who took silver, van Gass's achievement highlighted Great Britain's strength in para-cycling. The day also saw another gold for Britain, as Lizzi Jordan and her pilot Danni Khan excelled in the women's B 1,000m time trial. Van Gass's resilience and determination have inspired many, proving that setbacks can lead to significant comebacks.
