Who is Cameron Leslie?

Cameron Leslie, MNZM is a New Zealand paralympics swimmer, most notable for his performance at the 2008 Summer Paralympics, winning a gold medal in the men's 150 m individual medley, in which his time of 2:33.57 broke the previous world record by over a second.

Leslie is a student at Auckland University of Technology and has a quadruple limb deficiency. In 2008 Leslie said he may leave swimming to play wheelchair rugby in later games, but he did not realise that plan. Instead, he returned for the 2012 Summer Paralympics, again winning a gold medal in men's 150 m individual medley, and beating his own world record with the time 2:25.98.

In 2013, Leslie won the gold medal in the men's 150 m individual medley, and a bronze medal in the men's 50 m backstroke, at the IPC Swimming World Championships in Montreal.
