Sun Hai Tao is a six time gold medalist at the Paralympics, winning gold medals at each of his three paralympics. He first competed in the 1996 Summer Paralympics with a clean sweep of gold medals in the F12 throws events with wins in discus, javelin and shot as well as competing as part of the Chinese 4 × 100 m relay team. He returned in 2000 Summer Paralympics but was not as successful only managing to retain the shot put gold medal while winning silver in the discus and bronze in the shot put. But he managed to come back stronger in the 2004 Summer Paralympics winning gold in the discus and shot put but for the first time in an individual event he missed out on a medal in the javelin.[1]
