Since entering into a sponsorship agreement with Invacare in 1998, South African athlete Ernst van Dyk has taken the world of wheelchair racing and handcycling by storm.

Having won multiple Paralympic and World Championship medals and major international marathons, Ernst admits it would not have been possible without the support of Invacare products.

It thus made perfect sense for Ernst to launch Enabled Sport in 2009. With a sporting career spanning more than two decades, and intimate knowledge of their products, who better to act as distributor for Invacare’s Top End range of sports and recreational products in South Africa?
