Welcome to the website of triple Paralympic medalist Aaron McKibbin

Aaron McKibbin is a London-born Paralympic Table Tennis and triple Paralympic medalist. Aaron was born with bilateral talipese and had many corrective surgeries on his feet and legs throughout his childhood; it affected both his feet and ankle joints, making his balance and movement quite difficult.

From an early age Aaron was a lover of sport; from the age of four he played tennis and loved the game until the age of 14, when he found movement and balance problems began to have an impact on his game. Keen to continue playing competitive sport, Aaron switched to table tennis for which he soon realised he had a big passion. He began playing in his school lunch breaks and socially with friends, and it wasn’t long before local coaches spotted his talent and Aaron was encouraged to pursue table tennis more seriously.

In 2009 Aaron was invited to his first British Paralympic Table Tennis development camp. The GB coaching staff were very impressed and soon invited Aaron to his first international competition in Romania. Aaron moved up to the National Table Tennis Centre in Sheffield, where he trained full time along with the rest of the GB team. Aaron went on to represent GB in the London Games and went one better by taking a Paralympic bronze medal in team event class 6-8 with team mates Ross Wilson and William Bayley. He went on to repeat this in the Rio 2016 Games, winning Paralympic bronze again in the class 6-8 team, this time beating China in a famous victory to claim the medal.

Aaron became a triple Paralympic medalist by taking Bronze again in the team event in Tokyo, and cementing him and his teammates as the most consistent team over the last 13 years.
