Daniel Brown MBE (born 29 November 1982) is a retired British pararower who competed at international-level events. He is a Paralympic champion, a triple world champion and a double world cup champion in the mixed coxed four with Grace Clough, Pam Relph, James Fox and Oliver James.[1]
Brown was a keen football and rugby league player when he was in his teenage years and played for Wokingham. He was involved in a car accident in 2003 which caused him to have life-changing injuries: he couldn't put weight on his ankle and he severed nerves in his left arm.[2][3]
At the 2016 Rio Paralympics, Brown took gold in the mixed coxed four alongside Pam Relph, Grace Clough, James Fox and Oliver James.[4]
He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to rowing.[5]
