Career

Abraham moved to the Netherlands in 2000 and raced for the Marco Polo Cycling Team between 2010 and 2012. He focused on racing in paralympic events, for which he was eligible because of an underdeveloped leg.

In 2016 he competed for the Netherlands in the Summer Paralympics. Abraham only had a residence permit, but was allowed to compete as a stateless citizen on behalf of the Netherlands in the C4–5 road race. During the race, Abraham was in position to win the bronze medal, but just before the finish the two leaders: Australian Alistair Donohoe and Ukrainian Yegor Dementyev, both crashed, and Abraham took the win. [3] After this, he was decorated as a Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau. [4] He was issued a Dutch passport on 22 August 2017. [5]
