Earle Connor is proving to be a champion for the
21st century. In 2000, he won gold and silver medals at the Sydney,
Australia, Paralympic Games, where he also set a world record in
the men’s 100-meter T42 event. In 2001 he racked up three more
world track records. Connor had one spectacular summer in 2003 when
he broke four world records: the 100 meters (12.14 seconds), 200
meters (26.66 seconds), and 400 meters (1 min 7.32 seconds) on the
same day in Germany. Six days later, in Milan, he lowered his own
200-meter record to 26.40 seconds.
