A joyous Emily Petricola has overcome a flare-up of multiple sclerosis to smash her own world record and successfully retain her 3,000m individual pursuit Paralympic gold medal.
On a triumphant Friday afternoon for Australia at Paris’s National Velodrome, Petricola’s medal was supplemented by a gold for Queenslander Korey Boddington in C4-5 1,000m time trial and Jessica Gallagher clinched silver in the women’s B 1,000m time trial.
