Career

Wilk won two gold medals at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London.^[1][3] Now he is a handcyclist but he used to be a professional speedway rider. He started doing sports in 1991, at the age of 12. On 3 May 2006, Rafal Wilk had an accident during a speedway meeting in Krosno. He injured his spinal cord, and lost control in the lower part of his body. After the accident, he was determined to continue as an athlete, so he took up monoski and went on to practice handbiking. He proved successful in the latter, shortly winning his first Polish championship title. In 2012, during the London Summer Paralympic Games he won two gold medals in road cycling in the H3 category (handbiking).
