John Willis finishes Rio challenge of trying 34 sports

John Willis set himself the challenge of taking on all the Olympic and Paralympic events

A disabled man has completed his aim to try all 34 Paralympic and Olympic sports.

John Willis, 55, from Cambridge, who was born without fully-formed arms or legs, had a go at everything from archery to judo, ending with a game of golf.

His "Road to Rio" challenge has raised about £9,000 for his charity.

Mr Willis tweeted that he was both "happy and sad" to be finishing the challenge.

He is the founder of Power2inspire, which aims to bring disabled and non-disabled children together playing sports.

Mr Willis said: "The journey was a great way of realising people of all different shapes and sizes are passionate about their sports.

"It was a privilege to make so many friends through shooting, judo, rowing, handball, goalball and boccia - such a variety and they have all been so fantastically welcoming.

"There has been so much laughter and happiness around the events; laughing at handball and having a great time at water polo even if I got dunked!"

One sport that he particularly enjoyed was judo. He said: "When you are disabled you feel a lot more vulnerable in difficult situations than maybe other people do. So I was really thrilled to be taught some good self-defence moves."
