Natalie Du Toit won our first gold medal at the Beijing Paralympics when she won her 100m butterfly event in the pool in a world record time.
Not to be outdone Charl Bouwer claimed gold in the 400m freestyle (class S13) in a new world record time of 4:14.02.
Natalie claimed her second gold medal in the 100m freestyle (class S9) event and we hope to see a few more gold’s from her soon!
Philippa Johnson added the fourth gold in the Individual Equestrian Championships (Grade IV).
Now we are waiting for Oscar Pistorius (the “Blade Runner”) to strike gold, he will be running the 100m, 200m and 400m events. He is a double amputee and races with prosthetic legs.
Well done to all our paralympic athletes, we are very proud of all your achievements, even if you do not win a medal, you do us proud just by being there!
