Results from South Africa

In total now there were 7 overall medals that came from South Africa during this paralympics, 4 golds with two record breaking finishes from our performers as well as 1 silver and 2 bronzes. in overall however our team were very pleased and happy with all the results, taking into consideration they were in a totally new environment and had to also abide to the covid laws and regulations. A lot of of players are at a very young age as well, so through this they could develop and grow themselves into some of the best athletes #SouthAfrica has ever seen. #welldoneSA #Keeponfighting.
