Hi my name is Michael Pope and I compete in Shot put and discus. I have been competing for 6 years now and have came a long way since my first chance in competing back in 2006. Back in 2009 I had the chance to compete for the Great Britain dwarf team in Belfast for the World Dwarf Games and coming back with 2 golds and 2 silvers, and thats just for athletics. I have now since been selected for the UKA Paralympic potential squad. I train 6 days a week at my local athletics track and my nearby gym. I am also on the Herts talented Athlete programme which I have been on for 4 years. At the moment I'm in 6th form studying a Btec in Sport Level 3.
