Breaking news from the Paralympics in Hong Kong is that Singapore's Laurentia Tan has won a bronze medal in Cat. 1A

Patience is a virtue

Sixteen years and four Paralympic editions later, Anne Dunham from Great Britain can finally claim the individual Olympic gold all to herself. Her spectacular performance this evening confirmed a great partnership with Teddy, a nine year old, crowd-loving chestnut gelding.

In true form and in a bold bid to also help secure the team gold for Great Britain, Athens bronze medallist Sophie Christiansen beat her own record by clenching silver in front of a packed arena this evening in Hong Kong with Lambrusco III.

For bronze, Singapore’s Laurentia Tan riding Nothing to Lose caused quite the sensation with a stunning performance, thus earning the first equestrian medal at the Paralympic Games not only for Singapore, but for the whole of Asia. Her outlook and words of encouragement to athletes prior to the Games provide a little insight into how one achieves the ultimate dream: “Reach for the stars and go for your dreams…! Show your talent, try and participate in as many events as possible, you never know.” This personal mantra has clearly served this determined rider well!
