Ebbe Blichfeldt is a Danish wheelchair racer living in Switzerland who has competed internationally in the Paralympic Games and other parathletic events, in the T54 classification for athletes with spinal cord injuries who compete in wheelchairs. He also works as an occupational therapist.[1][2]

Blichfeldt was paralysed at age 13 as a side effect of cancer,[2][3] and began wheelchair racing in 2001.[1] His competitions have included competing for Denmark at the 2008 Summer Paralympics,[1][3] and for Denmark at the 2016 Summer Paralympics, where he qualified as the only Danish wheelchair racer,[2] and earned big cheers from the crowd despite finishing last in his heat in the 5000m race.[4] He placed third in the wheelchair category of the Dublin Marathon in 2018,[5] and second in the 2018 Rome Marathon.[6] He has held the Danish records for 1500m and 5000m wheelchair racing.[2]

Blichfeldt moved to Switzerland in 2009,[1] and trains at the Swiss Paraplegic Centre in Nottwil along with other parathletes including champion wheelchair racer Marcel Hug.[7] He is sponsored by OA Opbyg A/S, an axle construction firm in Karlslunde.[8]
