Jason SmythMBE (born 4 July 1987) is an Irish retired[1] sprint runner. He competes in the T13 disability sport classification as he is legally blind, with his central vision being affected by Stargardt's disease;[2] he also competes in elite non-Paralympic competition. As of July 2014[update], Smyth holds T13 World records in the 100m and 200m events.[3][4]
He was selected to represent Northern Ireland at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[5] Deterioration in his vision meant that he was reassigned to the T12 classification in 2014, but he was subsequently reclassified back to T13 in 2015.[6]
