It’s been another golden night in Paris
…for our Paralympians, with swimmer Alexa Leary adding a second gold medal to her Games haul, and table tennis player Qian Yang winning the women’s singles. Leary took out the women’s 100m freestyle S9 final and broke the world record for the second time in hours. It follows her 4x100m mixed relay win on Tuesday, when she powered her way from fifth to first in her freestyle anchor leg. Yang beat Poland’s Natalia Partyka to claim gold in table tennis WS10 – her fourth Paralympic gold medal, and her second in Paris after a doubles WD20 win with Li Na Lei. Australia is 9th on the medal table, after we also won 3 silver and 2 bronze medals in para-cycling overnight, and another 2 bronze in the pool… And speaking of making a splash in Paris, Raygun has apologised to the breaking community for her controversial dance moves at the Olympics in her first interview since the Games.
