Overview

Paul Martin (born June 21, 1967) is an American amputee athlete, Paralympian, speaker, and author. Paul is considered one of the foremost amputee triathletes in history and holds or has held several records in various events. Biography Paul Martin's left leg was amputated in 1992, when he was twenty-five years old, following a car accident. He began serious sports training almost immediately afterwards, and ran his first sprint-distance triathlon (.45 mile swim, 12.4 mile bike, 3.1 mile run) in 1995. He soon turned to the far more grueling Olympic-distance (0.93 mile swim, 24.8 mile bike, 6.2 mile run) and eventually, the Ironman-distance triathlon (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26 mile run). In 1997, Paul was named the USA Triathlon Olympic-Distance National Champion for the first time; he has since won it five more times (1998, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007). He also won the silver medal in the lower extremity athlete division at the International Triathlon Union World Championships. For his accomplishments, Paul was named the US Olympic Committee's Disabled Athlete of the Year.

Notable quotes

“Canada's position was Saddam Hussein should be disarmed. Now, to be quite honest, I had a lot of difficulty understanding how he was going to be disarmed without being replaced.”
— Ottawa Citizen (April 28, 2003)
“I really think Canada should get over to Iraq as quickly as possible. There's a huge need for front-line medical professionals. There's a huge need for policing. And there's a huge need for infrastructure rebuilding.”
— On sending humanitarian aid to Iraq.
“The fact that now we know well that there is proliferation of nuclear weapons and that many of the weapons that Saddam Hussein had, for example, we do not know where they are, so that means the terrorists have access to all that.”
— The Globe and Mail (May 11, 2004)
“Put simply, we must always remember that separate but equal is not equal.”
— Regarding the proposal that homosexual couples be limited to civil unions, instead of being allowed to marry.
