What an excellent result for a woman who has had to overcome such significant adversity that many of us will never scratch the surface of in terms of the obstacles this can place in your life. ..but like so many of our other great paralympians she has triumphed not only over adversity but in achievement of her sport and for the latter I applaud her in particular.... well done Josie you deserved it.
