Mandip Sehmi
Mandip Sehmi (born 13 December 1980)[1] is a British wheelchair rugby player. He was part of the Great Britain national wheelchair rugby team that came in 4th place at the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, China.[2] He has three gold medals from the IWRF European Championship (2005, 2007 and 2015). Sehmi was involved in a car crash in the summer of 2000, which resulted in a broken neck and a permanent spinal cord injury.[3] He spent a year recovering at the Stoke Mandeville hospital.[4][5] While at the hospital, he had the opportunity to meet Bob O'Shea, a member of the Great Britain national wheelchair rugby team. O'Shea's wife was a nurse at the hospital, and he invited Sehmi to train in wheelchair rugby at a location near the hospital.[6] References
