Brenden Hall
Brenden Hall OAM (swimming) took part in his third Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022 but was unable to defend the men’s 100m backstroke S9 title he had won on the Gold Coast four years earlier.
Brenden made his international debut at the 2007 Arafura Games, before going to his first Paralympic Games in Beijing the following year aged 15 where he reached the final of the men’s 400m freestyle S9 as the youngest member of the team. He has now made four Paralympic appearances and won six medals – including consecutive gold in the 400m freestyle S9 at London 2012 and Rio 2016 – as well as another in the 4x100m freestyle in London. He has also been to six world championships since 2010, claiming 13 medals (8 gold), including three consecutive gold in the men’s 400m freestyle S9 in 2010, 2013 and 2015.
Brenden’s right leg was amputated when he was six due to complications from chicken pox, which also caused him to lose most of his hearing.
The 21-time Australian champion across both pool and open water events completed a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science at the University of Queensland and is undertaking a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the Australian Catholic University. He married long-time girlfriend Brittany Daniec in 2019.
