Paris Paralympics 2024: Today’s best moments images from the Paralympics
Anna Taylor claimed New Zealand’s first medal of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games with a silver in the women’s C4 3000m individual pursuit.
In the final, Taylor was lapped by Australia’s gold medallist Emily Petricola, but the 33-year-old Para cyclist from Cambridge was rewarded thanks to a brilliant ride in qualification, after she sliced more than six seconds from her national record, recording 3:42.137.
Taylor made a scintillating start in the gold medal race, blasting out to a sizeable early lead and held a narrow advantage at 1000m. However, Petricola, the defending champion who had set a world record of 3:35.856 in the qualification, took control in the second kilometre.
The
Australian caught Taylor around 2500m to signal the end of the race and give
the Kiwi a silver medal.
Here’s Taylor and some of the other best photos from the Paralympics.
