Hi everyone, I'm putting a call out for any photos or videos that anyone has of Darren at the Paralympics in Seoul and Barcelona specifically action shots or medal presentations.

If any of our Roma friends have any photos or videos of any of the fund raising or homecoming celebrations from any of his Paralympics could you please let me know.

Thanks,
Keri (aka Mrs Thruppy)

Congratulations mate ! Job well done 👍

Samuel Allen Is FAST⚡️

With a blistering 11.80 (+1.3) in the Men’s 100m T37 heats, the Queenslander has obliterated Darren Thrupp’s 23-year-old Australian record of 12.23 from 2002. 💥

Liam Kernick also notched a PB of 12.09, a mark that too is under the previous record.

Unfortunately the duo will not progress to the final but are certainly names to watch. 🤩

Who’s the dude drinking water ? A fabulous incentive that needs more promotion.

There’s some epic names in this list. Incredibly honoured to be named amongst them

As the Australian Track and Field Nationals commemorate their 100th edition in Brisbane this weekend, it’s impossible not to reflect on the incredible talent that has graced the event over the decades.
