Double medal glory for NZ Paralympians at Beijing

September 11th, 2008 · 4 Comments

Following on from her marvelous effort to achieve a silver medal in the 100m butterfly, NZ teenager Sophie Pascoe has won a gold medal in the women’s 100m breaststroke at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics. A great result for the 15-year old from Christchurch, who is NZ’s youngest ever Paralympic medallist!

Also in the medal action on day 3 of competition is cyclist Paula Tesoriero, who has won a bronze medal in the women’s Individual Pursuit, to add to her gold medal on the first day.

Awesome stuff - go you Kiwi girls!

    Dont forget to vote for sophie, or any other nz athlete at the beijing games at www.winanoutlander.co.nz

    NZs favourite athlete will win a car, as well as a random voter.
