SASI para-cyclist Darren Hicks is bringing home a gold medal, securing the fastest time in the Road Cycling Men’s C2 Time Trial at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
On Day 1 of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, SASI para-cyclist Paige Greco has claimed Australia’s first medal of the Games, winning gold in the Women’s C1-3 3000m Individual Pursuit.
The 2020 Olympics was one for the history books, with athletes overcoming many challenges on the road to Tokyo including a postponed Games date, training in lockdown, quarantine periods and not being able to compete against their international rivals in the 12+ months prior.
To win a medal at the Games is a tremendous feat in itself…but to do it in the face of adversity demonstrates an incredible amount of courage, as was shown by Alex Porter in Tokyo on the cycling track.
