Weightlifting career

Ward represented England and won three silver medals in the 83kg division, at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria. The three medals were won during an unusual period when three medals were awarded in one category (clean and jerk, snatch and combined) which invariably led to the same athlete winning all three of the same colour medal.[3][4] Four years later he won a snatch gold medal and two silver medals for England, at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia [5][6] and he also competed at the 2002 Commonwealth Games.[7]

He also competed at the world championships, most recently at the 2001 World Weightlifting Championships.

gollark: ```Our language includes several convenient features, perfect for any aspiring Presidential candidate including: No floating point numbers, only integers. America never does anything halfway. All numbers must be strictly greater than 1 million. The small stuff is inconsequential to us. There are no import statements allowed. All code has to be home-grown and American made. Instead of True and False, we have the keywords fact and lie. Only the most popular English words, Trump's favorite words, and current politician names can be used as variable names. Error messages are mostly quotes directly taken from Trump himself. All programs must end with America is great. Our language will automatically correct Forbes' $4.5B to $10B. In its raw form, TrumpScript is not compatible with Windows, because Trump isn't the type of guy to believe in PC.```
