FORMER racing driver Billy Monger is contemplating competing at the 2028 Paralympics in Los Angeles after receiving recognition for his record-breaking Ironman exploits.
The 25-year-old smashed the Ironman global record for a double amputee on Saturday by finishing the 140.6-mile World Championship course in Kona, Hawaii in 14 hours, 23 minutes and 56 seconds.
His remarkable effort, which followed a year of gruelling training alongside his work as a television presenter, eclipsed the previous best mark, set by the US’s Roderick Sewell, by more than two hours.
