Paralympian Sam Bramham’s memoir shows what mischief Athletes really get up to when the crowds aren’t watching …

It’s no secret that Paralympic gold medallist Sam Bramham enjoys a good prank. He made international headlines after telling an American journalist his prosthetic leg was chewed off by a kangaroo, and spent a night in jail after he and his mates faked a shark attack on a busy NSW beach. But there’s a lot more to Sam that his reputation as a prankster, including an Order of Australia medal for being an inspiration to Australian youth.

In the upcoming autobiography, Three-Quarter Man (Affirm Press, $29.99), Sam Bramham gives a candid and very funny account of life as an athlete, and lifts the lid in what mischief athletes really get up to when the crowds aren’t watching! From having his leg amputated at five, Sam shares his personal account of the highs and lows of the journey so far – including his current goal to win gold for Australia in the first ever 2016 Paralympic triathlon in Rio. Told with Sam’s unique sense of humour and his ‘never-say-die’ attitude, Three-Quarter Man is an inspiring insight into the mind of one of Australia’s most entertaining elite sportsmen.

Melbourne-based Sam Bramham is now available for interview. Sam won a clutch of swimming medals in the 2004 and 2008 Paralympics, and is currently training for the first ever Paralympic triathlon at the Rio Paralympics in 2016. He is an ambassador for Disability Sport and Recreation, Bully Free and Oz Child.
