  • Michael Shelton is a British sportsman who competed at the Summer Paralympic Games five times between 1960 and 1976 in snooker and other sports. He won six Paralympic medals, four gold, a silver and a bronze. He also won gold at the 1974 Commonwealth Paraplegic Games. Shelton was from Newstead, Nottinghamshire and had been a miner at Newstead Colliery. He injured his back in a mining accident. He played for the Lodge Moor Hospital paraplegic snooker team, which in 1974 was refused entry to the Sheffield and District Works Sports Association league, on the basis that they would gain unfair advantage from playing all of their fixtures at their home venue, apparently failing to acknowledge that the team would be unable to play at other venues with stairs or limited space around the tables. The team was subsequently given the chance to participate in the Sheffield Social Snooker League and play all their games at their own home base. (en)
  • Майкл Шелтон (англ. Michael Shelton) — английский спортсмен, участник Летних Паралимпийских игр от Великобритании с 1960 по 1976 год. Выиграл шесть медалей: 4 золота и по одной серебряной и бронзовой медали. Участвовал в трёх видах спорта: снукер, игра в боулз, лёгкая атлетика в разных дисциплинах. Работал на шахте в Ньюстеде (графство Ноттингемшир), в результате несчастного случая получил травму спины и остался парализованным. Продолжая, несмотря на болезнь, занятие снукером, принял участие в первых Играх 1960 года, заняв на них второе место, а через четыре года уже стал чемпионом. Привёз с Игр 1964 года в подарок своей матери японский веер. На Играх 1968 года принимал участие также в легкоатлетических дисциплинах — толкании ядра и метании копья. В 1975 году был признан ассоциацией спортивных журналистов спортсменом-параолимпийцем года в Великобритании. (ru)
