    Anna Grimaldi's exacted sweet revenge with a remarkable gold medal triumph at the Paralympics in Paris

    Anna Grimaldi's exacted sweet revenge with a remarkable gold medal triumph at the Paralympics in Paris


    The 27-year-old's won New Zealand's first gold medal of the Games - sprinting to an unexpected victory - and an Oceania record - in the T47 200 metre final.

    The 200 was the third-string event for Grimaldi behind long jump and the 100 metres.

    She says she came close to never running the distance again due to past injury struggles.
