Scott Reardon is a retired Australian Paralympic sprinter and water skier who has shown remarkable resilience and determination throughout his career.

Growing up on his family farm in Temora, New South Wales, Scott experienced a life-changing accident at the age of 12 when his shoelace got caught in the power take-off shaft of a tractor, resulting in the severance of his right leg. Remarkably, he relearned how to walk in just a week, hinting at his future success.

Scott made history as the first person with a disability to win his state's able-bodied water skiing competition. In 2007, he earned a gold medal in the jump event at the Disabled World Championships in Townsville and continued to excel by winning three gold medals at the Australian Tournament Waterski disabled titles in 2009.

As a T42 classified athlete in athletics, Scott made his Paralympic debut at the 2012 London Paralympics, where he won a silver medal in the Men's 100m T42 and placed fourth in the Men's 200m T42.

He achieved further success at the 2013 IPC Athletics World Championships in Lyon, winning gold in the Men's 100m and silver in the Men's 200m T42 events.

Scott continued to dominate by winning the Men's 100m T42 at the 2015 IPC Athletics World Championships in Doha in 12.13 seconds and securing his third consecutive Men's 100m T42 title at the 2017 World Para Athletics Championships in London with a time of 12.21.

At the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics, Scott qualified for the Men's 100m T63 final, finishing fifth.

Scott is married to fellow Australian Paralympic athlete Vanessa Low, forming a powerhouse couple in the world of Paralympic sports.
