World Para Athletics Championships: Nathan Maguire wins T54 1500m bronze

Great Britain’s Nathan Maguire thanked his family for helping him achieve his dream after winning T54 1500m bronze at the World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi.

Maguire overtook Switzerland’s Marcel Hug on the final bend and finished behind Chinese pair Jin Hua and Luo Xingchuan.

The 28-year-old adds to the bronze he won in the T54 800m at the 2024 World Para Championships in Kobe.

“This is what I’ve dreamed of for my whole career,” Maguire told BBC Radio Merseyside.

“It’s always special to be able to do this in front of your family.

“I’ve never been to a race without my parents with me and I know how much they put into me when I was growing up to get me to this point so it’s a team effort.”

Maguire finished fourth in the T54 400m on Tuesday but has the opportunity to pick up another medal in the 800m event this weekend.
