Kinghorn soaks up Paris atmosphere on way to medals glory
The Guardian
|September 06, 2024
Sammi Kinghorn made it four medals from four events at the Paralympics last night and credited her success to "making sure that I was the happiest person" as she prepared to take on the world in Paris.
The fastest British woman ever to race in a wheelchair, Kinghorn has competed at three Paralympics but this has been her breakthrough summer. Her fourth medal, a third silver, came here in the T53400m race, just a day after winning gold and setting a Paralympic record in the 100m.
"I was just buzzing to get out there again and enjoy that crowd," Kinghorn said of her approach to the 400m, where she finished behind her Swiss rival Catherine Debrunner in a time of 53.45 seconds.
"As I've gotten older, I've started to understand that the medals aren't the things that make you happy. Before I always thought, if I win a Paralympic medal, I'll be the happiest person ever. Then I came away from Tokyo with a medal and it hadn't made me any happier. So I really worked on making sure that I was the happiest person going into these Games.
"I think I'm learning more and more about myself, and who I am, and who I want to be as a person and I'm proud of the person I'm turning into," she said."I have enjoyed these Games.
