Scott Reardon is a retired Australian Paralympic sprinter and water skier. 

​

Scott grew up on his family farm in Temora, New South Wales and at just 12-years-of-age, Scott was involved in an accident where his shoelace got caught in the power take-off shaft of a tractor, severing his right leg. 

​

Remarkably, Scott relearned how to walk in just a week - perhaps a sign of his success to come. 

​

Scott went on to become the first person with a disability to win his state's able bodied water skiing competition and in 2007, he earned a gold medal for the jump event at the 2007 Disabled World Championships in Townsville. Scott added to his medal tally in 2009, winning a trio of gold medals at the Australian Tournament Waterski disabled titles. 

​

In athletics, Scott is a T42 classified athlete. He made his Paralympic debut at the 2012 London Paralympics, where he won a silver medal in the Men's 100m T42 and placed fourth in the Men's 200m T42. 

​

At the 2013 IPC Athletics World Championships in Lyon, Scott won gold in the Men's 100m and silver in the Men's 200m T42 events. 

​

Scott went on to win again at the 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships in Doha, taking out the Men's 100m T42 in 12.13. 

​

In 2017 at the World Para Athletics Championships in London, Scott won his third consecutive Men's 100m T42 title with a time of 12.21.

​

At the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics, Scott qualified for the Men's 100m T63 final, finishing fifth in the final.

​

Scott is married to fellow Australian Paralympic athlete Vanessa Low.
