Timeline
David Smith MBE (born 21 April 1978) is a British adaptive rower who won a gold medal at the 2012 Summer Paralympics.
Smith was born on 21 April 1978 in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland.
He was born with a club foot and for the first three years of his life he had his bones repeatedly broken and reset to correct his foot's alignment.
But neck and back pains interrupted training and he missed a 2006 Winter Olympics spot by one-hundredth of a second.
He graduated from the University of Bath in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in sports performance.
Smith was introduced to adaptive rowing in 2009 at a Paralympic Potential Day run by the British Paralympic Association.
He competes in the legs, trunks and arms adaptive mixed coxed four (LTAMix4+) event in which he won a gold medal at the 2009 World Rowing Championships, competing in a crew with Vicky Hansford, Naomi Riches, James Roe and cox Rhiannon Jones.
In 2010 he underwent emergency surgery after doctors found a tumour inside his spinal cord at cervical spine level.
The surgery left him temporarily paralysed, an issue that was later determined to be the result of a blood clot.
He earned a Black Belt in Karate and was is the British squad for 6 years.
He took up sprinting in a desire to compete at the Olympics as karate was not an Olympic sport, and became East of Scotland 400m champion in mainstream athletics, and took third in the 200m behind Olympian Ian Mackie.
But running round bends caused stress fractures which forced him to quit.
He turned to bobsleigh, because straight-line running was fine and made the GB team as a brakeman.
In 2011 he competed at the World Rowing Championships held at Lake Bled, Bled, Slovenia.
They completed the one kilometre course in a time of three minutes, 27.10 seconds, finishing nearly five seconds ahead of runners-up Canada.
The result qualified a boat for Great Britain into the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London.
The crew repeated their gold medal result at the Munich World Cup event in 2012.
Smith was selected along with Relph, Riches, Roe, and van den Broeke, to compete for Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in the mixed coxed four event.
The event took place between 31 August and 2 September at Eton Dorney.
The Great Britain crew won gold.
Smith was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to rowing.
Despite his success at rowing, medical issues forced Smith to retire from that sport, and he subsequently joined British Cycling's Paralympic Academy programme in 2014.
He continued to compete at Paracycling despite further surgery on the tumour, taking ninth place at the final Para-cycling Road World Cup of the 2015 season in Pietermaritzburg, but in January 2016 he announced that he'd need another operation that ended his plans to compete at the 2016 Paralympic games.
