Following the success of the first Invictus Games in London 2014, the games are moving to Orlando and will be held from 8th - 12th May at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
Jaco is very pleased to announce that he will be competing in the games, after winning double gold at Invictus in 2014, he is hoping to defend his title this year.
A total of 500 competitors from 15 nations will compete in ten sports including wheelchair rugby and sitting volleyball. The UK team is made up of 110 wounded, injured and sick serving military personnel and veterans. Jaco will be racing in the Road Race and the Time Trial, the events that saw him take home two gold medals in 2014.
Invictus is the Latin for unconquered - a word that embodies the fighting spirit of the wounded and injured and what they can achieve post-injury.
