Noah Vucsics was a breakout performer for Canada at the 2023 Para Athletics World Championships winning the silver medal in the men’s T20 long jump. In addition to the medal he earned a quota spot for Canada for the 2024 Paralympics.
His 7.35 metre leap at the worlds was also a Canadian record and he missed the gold by only five centimetres.
Vucsics was first introduced to track and field at age 10 but was injured and required knee surgery. It was put on the backburner for a couple of years before a high school teacher noticed his athletic skills and introduced him to long jump.
