Hello everybody!
Today I'm going to be talking about the amazing swimming champion...SOPHIE PASCOE!
Okay, why don't we do some Facts now?:
Sophie first revealed her skilled ability competing at the CCS Independence Games when Paralympians Roly Crichton and Graham Condon impressed by Sophie’s potential asked her to join the QEII Swim team/club.Sophia is amazingly a nine-time Paralympic gold medalist and multiple World Champion.
She has represented New Zealand at four Summer Paralympic Games from 2008, winning a total of ten gold medals, seven silver medals and one bronze medal, which is really REALLY good! Sophie has won a Bronze medal, now her second medal at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. Taking the medal tally for the New Zealand Paralympic Team to 5 medals including 2 gold, 2 silver and a bronze ( Incredible ). What is really interesting is that when she won five medals she also broke a world record while taking her total tally to 15 Paralympic medals.
Sophie trains four times a week, and she used to go to Lincoln high school. She started swimming at the age of 7.
Sophie Pascoe is around 28 years of age. She was just 15, when she became the youngest member of the New Zealand team at Beijing (2008) where she won three gold medals and one silver medal in the Water Cube.
I'll even show her Paralympic results:
