Transcript

00:00If you're a crier like me, then it has been a Paralympics day two for you.

00:07I had tears flowing at the velodrome watching Corey Boddington in his debut Paralympics

00:12win gold and then Emily Petricola back up her Tokyo 2020 gold with another one in Paris.

00:19After her race, Emily spoke about how difficult it's been getting to these Paralympics and

00:24the eight week flare up that she's had dealing with her MS and how important it was to have

00:28her friends and her family at the velodrome supporting her in person to win this gold.

00:34And it was a really lovely moment and it just was an exciting moment to see all of that

00:39hard work come to fruition for Emily.

00:41Meanwhile, in the wheelchair rugby, the Steelers cinched a two-try win over the French, which

00:46is always quite nice, celebrating Riley Batt's 350th game and Andrew Edmondson's 200th.

00:51Now if you ask me, that's a pretty good way to celebrate a milestone in the pool.

00:56We made it to some finals, we didn't quite get any medals, but there was plenty of happy

01:00faces going around and our wheelchair rollers are still just short of their first win, but

01:05they've got more games to come.
