Biography

Waldemar has successfully competed at three summer paralympics. His first were in Barcelona in 1992 where he won the B2 class 800m and finished second in the 1500m and 5000m. At the 1996 Summer Paralympics he moved up in distance winning the T11 Marathon, second in the 10000m and third in 5000m as well as competing in the 1500m.
