Pascoe Is 10 Times Paralympic Games Gold Medallist! | Women's 100m Freestyle - S9 Final | Tokyo 2020

Twice she's won that title as well, and 2019 silver medallist at the world champs. So keen to see how the individuals get off in this tie, it's McConnell who has gone flying off the blocks and going in lane 4, Ribeiro with a traditionally quick start. Sophie Pascoe is not letting them go at the moment. Sophie Pascoe, plenty of attention surrounding her, indeed, the medals she's won so far at these Games. Not a gold medal, but she is streaking away here. Leading up to the 50, Pascoe will touch first. >> Yes, but McConnell is hanging in there. What Pascoe needs to do is get herself far ahead to hold off the charge from someone like Gascon and Toni Shaw, who will be strong at the end. >> How much does Sophie Pascoe have left? Certainly in the recent races she's swum, she's been leading and caught in the closing stages. Gascon is quick and closing. Sophie Pascoe, has she got the energy? Has she got the stamina and endurance? She certainly has the determination and character. Is she going ah win the historic 10th Paralympic Games gold? She does so here. Sophie Pascoe joins a very elite club of ten-time Paralympic Games gold medallists, she's done it after bronze and silver in her two previous, after an 18-month period that has brought her to her knees. She has risen to the occasion so brilliantly. An emotional roller coaster for Pascoe has seen her triumph in this her third event of 2020. Unexpectedly fell in love during the lockdown. But loving the pool again. Sophie Pascoe beside herself, she is delighted. She's ultimately exhausted as well. Very close at the top, four tenths of a second ahead of Gascon who was closing so fast and Ribeiro with a bronze. >> How can you not be happy for Sophie Pascoe? I mean, she has to be disappointed with those first two swims and here she just went for it. She goes out fast, in the first 50 she gets ahead of the others because she knows that swimmers like Gascon are able to close so quickly when they come in with a strong quick. So Sophie Pascoe come off the well very quick and then Gascon right there in that black hat. But Pascoe held on for it. She closed as fast as she possibly could to get her hand on the wall. What a swim! >> For Sophie Pascoe, this means the world to her. Her coach is not here, her long-time coach. He's been working with her for 20 years
