British boccia star David Smith is seeking to reclaim the 'triple crown' of the sport as he targets gold at the World Championships in Seoul, South Korea.
Smith, the current European champion, first held the triple crown in 2018, when he won gold at the World Championships in Liverpool whilst also holding the 2016 Paralympic ******* le and 2017 European ******* le.
The 37-year-old held that honour for four years before taking silver at the 2022 world champs.
Smith who resides in Swansea has five medals from four Paralympic Games and is seeking to regain the world ******* le, 20 years on from his championship debut.
"When I held the Triple Crown before, I had a rival after Rio who sort of got reclassified, then I had new rivals coming up," said Smith, who admits he now faces much stiffer competition at this year's Worlds from 24 August to 4 September.
