Rachel Morris Wins Gold!

Congratulations as former SFS pupil Rachel Morris leads triple gold for GB's rowers at Rio Paralympics 2016.

 

Rachel Morris won her second Paralympic Games gold medal at Rio 2016 – but her first in a boat.

The double amputee enjoyed a successful career as a hand-cyclist, winning time trial gold at Beijing 2008 and a bronze medal in the road race at London 2012.

Seeking a new challenge, Rachel transferred to rowing in 2013 and won an outstanding gold medal in the arms-shoulders women’s single scull boat at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
