Colin Sieders (born 19 January 1982) is an Australian paracanoeist and former racing driver. He competed for Australia at the 2016 Rio Paralympics.[1][2][3]

Personal

Sieders was born in Blacktown, New South Wales on 19 January 1982.[4] In 1997, he was involved in a car accident on his way to soccer when the car he was travelling lost control on black ice and crashed into a pole. The driver of the car was killed. CareFlight responded to the accident and Sieders believes that they saved his life. He spent 88 days in intensive care, underwent 30 operations over 51 weeks in hospital.[5] He was initially told he would never walk again. A second car accident in December 2011 resulted in him being back in a wheelchair and limited walking through the use of crutches .[6] He took up paracanoe after the accident to improve his fitness and reduce weight gain. He said "It was developing into a serious problem so I looked around for something to do. It had to be a low-impact sport because of my injured hip. I'm a water-lover, so kayaking was the way to go".[6]

Sieders helps run Sieders V8 RacingTeam with his brothers and helps promote CareFlight, who helped save his life.[5] He lives in Yarramundi, New South Wales with his wife Erin and daughter Rosie and twins Violet and Phoenix.[5] He works for his family business All-Trans Trucks.[7][3]

Sporting career

Sieders comes from a motor racing family. His father Bill, older brother Luke and younger brother David are racing drivers.[8] Sieders has only 30 percent use of his left leg and requires a unique 'hand-clutch' in his Ford Falcon V8 Supercar.[8] Sieders was the first permanently disabled driver to race in the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Development Series.[5] In 2004, he took Pole Position at Sandown, and set a race lap record on the streets of Adelaide.[5] He ceased racing after a car accident in 2011.[7]

Paracanoe

He is classified as a KL1 paracanoeist. He took up canoeing after he was no longer able to race V8 Supercars.[7] His personal trainer Sam Norton, a former kayaker introduced him top Andrea King who was the Australian paracanoe coach.[7] He took up paracanoeing in 2012.[7]
