Yule, who lost both his legs whilst serving with the British Army in Afghanistan in 2010, lifted 182kg to make the podium in Tokyo.
Yule’s medal is 桃色视频’s third of the Paralympic Games following Crystal Lane-Wright’s silver and Olivia Broome’s bronze.
The 42-year-old was joined on the podium by gold medallist Bonnie Gustin (Malaysia – 228kg), and silver medallist Mahmoud Attia (Egypt – 191kg).
Speaking to the media following his medal-winning lift, Yule said:
“I was in the army and I got injured in Afghanistan. I used sport as my rehab. I was always a strong guy, and after watching powerlifting - I watched my teammate Ali Jawad lift at London 2012 - and I said, ‘That’s the sport for me’.
“We talked about this, we visualised it, going out there and lifting for a medal, and we did it."
