If I said to you that Jayme Paris won a bronze medal in Beijing, you most probably don’t know who I am talking about. However you should!
Jayme is an Australian Paralympic cyclist from Maryong, NSW.
She started cycling just a few short years ago, after seeing a call from a 2004 Paralympian for more people to take up the sport.
Jayme has Cerebral Palsy, but has not let herself be stopped. In fact there are many cyclists who would never be able to beat her times. She is a truly brilliant cyclist with a list of achievements in her short career which would rival someone who had been cycling for many more years.
After the 500m Time Trial, Jayme is now a world record holder, and now a Bronze medalist in Beijing.
What a performance!
Jayme you are an inspirational cyclist! Good Luck with your remaining events!
Australia is proud of your achievement!
