Australian blind athlete Phillip Deveraux competes in the long jump during the B1 Pentathlon event at the 1988 Seoul summer Paralympics. Deveraux is guided down the track by a caller (in this case, the vision impaired team section manager, Gary Prior). The athlete runs towards the sound of the caller, counting their steps to the take-off point. Deveraux finished just outside the medals, in 4th place.
