Felix Streng

Felix Streng (born 16 February 1995) is a German Paralympic track and field athlete. A single leg amputee, Streng competes in both sprint and long jump events, competing in the T44 classification. He has won medals at both European and World Championship level and was part of the German men's 4 × 100 metres relay team that won gold at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio.

Personal life Streng was born in La Paz, Bolivia in 1995. He was born without his right foot and part of his lower shin. In 2001 his family moved to Coburg in Germany. while in the other two events he finished behind his own teammates, Markus Rehm in the long jump and Johannes Floors in the 200 metres, despite running a European record time in the T44 class in the latter. Streng finished the Grosseto games with a gold in the men's 4×100 metres (T42-47) alongside the same teammates who took gold in Doha the year prior, Floors, Rhem and Behre. The German team beat their previous European record with an improved time of 41.49 seconds, ahead of Russia and Italy.

At the 2016 Summer Paralympics, Streng entered four events. In the 100 metres (T44) despite, by his own evaluation, a weak qualification round (in which Streng finished third in his heat to qualify for the final) he posted a time of 11.03 seconds in the final to take the bronze medal behind Peacock and New Zealand newcomer Liam Malone. Streng and his coach were delighted with the result due to the strength of the competition.
