Once his family and business life settled, he began training six days a week to pursue his interest in international competition.[1] At his first Paralympics, the 1980 Arnhem Games, he won a gold medal in the Men's 200 m 3 event and a silver medal in the Men's 400 m 3 event.[3] His world record-breaking 200 m performance at the 1980 games was recognised as the best international performance by an Australian wheelchair athlete in that year.[1] At the 1984 New York/Stoke Mandeville Games, he won a gold medal and broke a world record in the Men's 400 m 2 event and two bronze medals in the Men's 800 m 2 and Men's 1,500 m 2 events.[1][3] At the 1988 Seoul Games, he won a bronze medal in the Men's 200 m 2 event;[3] he had a flat tyre during the early stages of the marathon, but still finished the race to support his teammates.[1] He also participated but did not win any medals in athletics events at the 1992 Barcelona Games.[3] An avid wheelchair basketballer, he participated in the Australia men's national wheelchair basketball team at the 1986 Gold Cup and was an integral member of the Queensland state wheelchair basketball team.[1] After his retirement from Paralympic competition, he focused on road-racing events to both compete and promote his new wheelchair designs.[1] He has participated in all major international wheelchair road-racing events, including the Beppu-Ōita Marathon, the Sempach Marathon, and the Peachtree Road Race.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 {{cite book|title=Step by Step We Conquer|publisher=Keeaira Press|isbn=0958529191|first=Vicki|last=Epstein|page=48}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Nugent, Michael}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.sureng.com.au/|title=Homepage|publisher=Surgical Engineering|accessdate=25 April 2012}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.paralympic.org/ipc_results/search.php?sport=all&games=all&medal=all&npc=all&name=Nugent&fname=Michael&gender=all|title=Athlete Search Results|publisher=International Paralympic Committee|accessdate=25 April 2012}} 18 : Paralympic athletes of Australia|Athletes (track and field) at the 1980 Summer Paralympics|Athletes (track and field) at the 1984 Summer Paralympics|Athletes (track and field) at the 1988 Summer Paralympics|Athletes (track and field) at the 1992 Summer Paralympics|Medalists at the 1980 Summer Paralympics|Medalists at the 1984 Summer Paralympics|Medalists at the 1988 Summer Paralympics|Paralympic gold medalists for Australia|Paralympic silver medalists for Australia|Paralympic bronze medalists for Australia|Wheelchair category Paralympic competitors|Australian men's wheelchair basketball players|People with paraplegia|Sportsmen from Queensland|Sportspeople from Brisbane|1940s births|Living people |
