Daniel Romanchuk
Daniel Romanchuk is a two-time Paralympic medalist and the Americas record-holder in the 800 and 5,000 meters. In 2018, he became the first American and youngest athlete ever to win the men's wheelchair division at the TCS New York City Marathon.
Following his New York victory, Romanchuk kicked off his 2019 campaign with a runner-up finish at the Tokyo Marathon and his first win at the United Airlines NYC Half. He followed that by becoming the first men’s American wheelchair racer to win both the Boston and London marathons.
In 2021, Romanchuk competed at his second Paralympics and won his first set of medals. He won 400-meter gold by one hundredth of a second and then took bronze in the marathon. In 2022, Romanchuk won both the United Airlines NYC Half and Boston Marathon before finishing as the runner-up at the TCS New York City Marathon. The last two years, he was the runner-up in both New York and Boston, a he set a new personal best in Boston this year.
Growing up in Maryland, Romanchuk took up wheelchair racing with the Bennett Blazers, the same adaptive sports club where Paralympic legends Tatyana McFadden and Josh George began their careers. At 16, Romanchuk began training for the Rio 2016 Paralympics under coach Adam Bleakney, who leads the esteemed University of Illinois wheelchair racing program.
Off the roads, Romanchuk loves math, numbers, and finding out how things work—he would disassemble and reassemble toasters as a kid—and now studies engineering in hopes of helping make advancements for racing chairs. He recently started Wheels for Change, a nonprofit which provides access to wheelchair racing equipment for those interested in the sport. On August 3, just prior to heading to Paris for the Paralympics, he married his now-wife Hannah.
