France's Damien Seguin was 24-years-old when he won his Paralympic gold medal in Athens 2004.
Sailing in the 2.4mR class, Seguin won the gold medal by just one point in his first Paralympic outing, beating USA's Thomas Brown who had to settle for silver.
Previously Seguin competed in Multihulls but moved in to the 2.4mR with great effect claiming two World Championship silver places before his breakthrough gold in Athens.
Seguin has gone on to win four further World Championships and a silver Paralympic medal.
Heading to Rio 2016 to take another shot at gold, how did Seguin explain his previous golden moment? Quite simply, 'It was a dream come true.'
