He was 19, fit, and working. He walked into hospital with stomach pain and woke up in ICU with his life rewritten.
Chris Bond survived leukaemia and a catastrophic bacterial infection that led to amputations. He went on to win Paralympic gold in London 2012, and to add a nail-biting win in Rio and bronze in Paris 2024. 🥇
We sit down with the Australian Steelers wheelchair rugby star for the raw, human story behind it all: relearning independence from the ground up, managing pain while training at an elite level, and what identity looks like after trauma.
Chris also opens up about solo parenting, losing a twin, and the decision to finally try therapy. 🤍
Plus the money reality of chasing medals, from equipment costs to working while competing, as Brisbane 2032 approaches.
This one will stay with you.

15 years ago today I debuted for Australia at the GB Cup in Cardiff, Wales.
It is a testament to my teammates, family and love of the sport that I am still here now leading this team at the highest level and still enjoying the ride.
It is only as I get older and at the back end of my career that I take the time to properly reflect on these types of milestones and be proud of the achievement.

Australia is building momentum. 🇦🇺🏉
After two strong performances to open the World Championships, Chris Bond says Australia is focused on reaching its full potential and making a serious run at the title.
For Bond, the biggest strength of this Australian team is its connection.
“We’ve really worked on that. We’ve been building trust, getting to know each other more and staying aligned with our values.”
Every team needs energy, and according to Bond, that role belongs to Beau Vernon.
“He’s our Energizer. He gets us all up and about every morning.”
And when asked who fans should keep an eye on, Bond highlighted Ella Sabljak, who has returned to the squad after becoming a parent and, in his words, “hasn’t missed a beat.”
Australia’s title defence continues.

The @australiansteelers are in São Paulo to defend their world title. 🇦🇺💚💛
Wheelchair rugby has a proud place in our history. For many years, we helped build and manage the sport nationally before it transitioned to the independent @wheelchairrugbyau in 2022.
That connection continues today, with former DSA Board member @chrisbondaus10 captaining the Steelers in São Paulo.
First up is Canada on Tuesday 18 August at 5:00am AEST.
Good luck to Chris and the whole team. We’ll be cheering from home.
Go Steelers! 🇦🇺
