  • Swimming: Erin Popovich Claims Fourth Gold, China Wins Thrilling Relays 09:23, September 12, 2008
    Swimming: Erin Popovich claims fourth gold, China wins thrilling relays 09:23, September 12, 2008 The National Aquatic Center, better known as the Water Cube, witnessed another miracle after Michael Phelps' haul of eight Olympic gold medals last month, as his fellow American Erin Popovich won her fourth gold at the Paralympics here on Thursday. Four events, four gold medals. Popovich's huge success highlighted the action-packed night. The 23-year-old, who stands 1.34 meters tall, touched the wall first with a new Paralympic- record time of five minutes 17.41 seconds in the women's S7 400m freestyle, beating her compatriot Cortney Jordan by 3.60 seconds. It was Popovich's fourth straight wins after she claimed titles in 200m individual medley SM7, 100m freestyle S7 and 100m breaststroke SB7. "I didn't believe I could break 5:20, it was a huge success for me. I also wanted to thank Cortney. She kept the moment up and pushed me to get the whole race. Anyway, I'm very excited," said the winner. On her victory, Popovich said there was no secret weapon. "In the morning's heat, I just wanted to go out, made everything comfortable and smooth so that I can push harder in the night. "My victory is due to a lot of hard work, just it. I have to get the right preparation and did everything that I need to do before every race," she said. Elsewhere, the closest race of the day came in men's 4X50m freestyle relay. After losing in Wednesday's 4X100m freestyle relay, China's quartet rallied to win their first team event with a strong spurt in the final lap.

In 1952, the Netherlands joined the competition and an international movement was born. The very first Olympic style Games for athletes with a disability were organized in Rome in 1960. In Toronto in 1976, other disability groups, other than spinal cord injuries, were added and the idea of merging various disability groups for international sport competitions began. In the same year, the first Paralympic Winter Games took place in Sweden. Today, the Paralympics are elite sport events for athletes from six different disability groups.

Our swimmers did not perform up to expectations in the 2012 Olympic Games in London and a rigorous review is in progress as this report goes to print. Though there was notable progress in a number of areas – for example the number of British Swimming finalists, we fell short of our medal target, with a number of medal prospects failing to deliver their season’s best performance when it mattered.
