Australian para-athlete Nicholas Hum, who won a bronze medal in the long jump at the Tokyo Paralympic Games in 2021, has died at the age of 32.
Hum made his international debut at the 2011 IPC World Athletics Championships and competed in three Paralympic Games and five World Para Athletics Championships. His last appearance was at the Paris Paralympic Games last summer.
He holds the Australian record in the T20 long jump with a distance of 7.39 m.
In a statement, Australian Athletics said Hum, who died over the weekend in Melbourne, “had a lasting impact on teammates and competitors, coaches and staff alike.”
He added: “Nick was a valued and respected member of Australia’s athletics, high performance and Paralympic communities.”
