The First Colombian Medal!

Last night in the Aquatic Centre, Moises Fuentes Garcia brought home the first team medal, a Silver in the 100m Breaststroke SB4. After waiting out the other medal chances in the Athletics Stadium, a convoy of cars set off at 10.00pm for the Colombian Consulate and a press conference to meet the early evening news bulletins in Colombia.

  Whilst being interviewed on television a call came through to the Ambassador from the President of Colombia and we were privileged to hear him congratulate Moises on his success. A late night for everyone, but something special to be so close.
