Danielle Aitchison claimed a brilliant silver medal in the final of the Women’s 200m T64 on day four of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Locked in a titanic tussle with Yiting Shi, Aitchison just could not quite manage to overhaul the Chinese athlete as Shi prevailed by a margin of just 0.14 in a Paralympic record time of 27.50.
For the 23-year-old Hamilton-based athlete it was a third Paralympic Games medal of her career. It was also the second silver medal for New Zealand at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
