Kamloops’ Greg Stewart takes home silver medal at World Para Athletic Championships

Kamloops' Greg Stewart is quite the superstar athlete!

After dominating the basketball and volleyball courts for the TRU WolfPack in years past, the 7'2" man can add a World Para Athletics silver medal to his trophy case.

Stewart was in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, today to compete in the men's shot put. In the process of taking second-place, Stewart also set three Canadian records.

Stewart's second toss of 15.84 metres put him the number two spot. He followed that up with a third throw of 16.30 metres, making him only the second F46 athlete to ever put the ball over the 16-metre mark.

The eventual winner, USA's Joshua Cinnamo, finished with a throw of 16.80 metres. For the full results, click here.
