Proposed lead: Mark Ludbrook (born 19 January 1967) is a Canadian former Paralympic athlete who competed for Canada across five Paralympic Games in two sports.^[1] A below-knee amputee, he swam at the 1984, 1988 and 1992 Summer Paralympics and competed in alpine skiing at the 1998 and 2002 Winter Paralympics, making him one of a small number of Canadians to have competed at both the Summer and Winter Paralympic Games. He is a four-time Paralympic medallist, having won three medals across the three Summer Paralympics in swimming and a bronze in the men's Super-G LW4 in alpine skiing at the 1998 Games.^[2]^[3] At the 2002 Winter Paralympics in Salt Lake City, he was Canada's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.^[1]^[2]

Proposed "Paralympic career" section: Swimming (1984–1992): Ludbrook competed at three Summer Paralympics, winning three medals and setting three Canadian records in disabled freestyle swimming.^[2] He made his debut at the 1984 Games (Stoke Mandeville and New York), winning bronze in the men's 100 m freestyle A4, and also competed at Seoul 1988 and Barcelona 1992 in the S10 classification.^[3]

Alpine skiing (1998–2002): Ludbrook transitioned to alpine skiing in the LW4 classification. At Nagano 1998 he won bronze in the Super-G and also skied slalom, giant slalom and downhill. At Salt Lake City 2002, competing in his fifth Paralympic Games, he took part in all four alpine disciplines and served as Canada's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.^[1]^[3]

Proposed "Filmography" section: In 2002, Ludbrook was one of the subjects of Ski Bums, a National Film Board of Canada documentary directed by Academy Award–winning filmmaker John Zaritsky, profiling skiers living in Whistler, British Columbia.^[4]

Note for reviewers: the IPC database documents two of these medals with full event detail (1984 swimming, 1998 skiing); the four-time total and three Summer swimming medals are supported by the cited Pique Newsmagazine report. Suggest leaving the infobox as-is until full event details for the additional swimming medals are located. Thank you.
