Billy Monger was just 17 when his world was turned upside down by an accident that left him fighting for his life. The British driver was competing in a Formula 4 race in England when he collided into the back of a fellow competitor at incredible speed – the collision was so severe that footage of the crash is still hard for his family to watch. The result was initially terrifying, with Monger undergoing a double-leg amputation as a result of the extreme injuries he sustained. In a split second, the teenager was facing a very different future. But spend time with Monger, who is now 25, and you’ll meet a young man with an incredible attitude to life; someone who refuses to follow the script. And, if you ever needed proof of that, his latest achievement provides all the evidence you’d need. In October last year, Monger broke the world record for the fastest double amputee to complete an IRONMAN. He set the record at the World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, considered by many as one of the hardest endurance events in the world.
