•7th – Hamish McLean, in his first ever Paralympic Final at 16-years-old, Men's 400m Freestyle S6
The river of gold and silver continued to flow in Rio today, with New Zealand picking up another three Paralympic
medals. The highlight was a commanding GOLD from 17-year-old Nikita Howarth, with two epic clashes for Sophie Pascoe and
Holly Robinson each leading to well-earned SILVER medals.
The New Zealand Paralympic Games Team now has 16 MEDALS in total, 8 GOLD, 5 SILVER and 3 BRONZE. This total takes it to
within 2 medals of its overall target of 18 medals at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, and to within 4 medals of its
target to reach 12 gold medals. With 4 days still left of competition, the team believes meeting the targets are
possible, although all athletes will need to push to their absolute limits. The success of the team as a whole has
certainly been inspirational for today’s medallists; all talked about their joy for their team-mates as helping give
them that extra boost.
Overall, as the day winds to a close and the temperature still sits at stifling 37 degrees, the fact that New Zealand
has jumped Australia on the medal table to 6th will likely be a conversation topic tonight!
PARA-SWIMMING
Nikita Howarth
Paralympian Nikita Howarth put in a phenomenal swim today in Rio de Janeiro, to pick up her second medal of the Rio 2016
Paralympic Games - a GOLD in the Women's 200m Individual Medley SM7. This result follows hard on the heels of her
performance yesterday, which saw Howarth collect her first ever Paralympic medal, a BRONZE in the Women's 50m Butterfly
S7. At just 13 years old, Howarth became New Zealand’s youngest ever Paralympian at the London 2012 Paralympic Games
Howarth did the business today in 2:57.29, 5 seconds ahead of Tess Routliffe (Canada) and 7 seconds ahead of Courtney
Jordan (USA). She went into the finals after taking a commanding lead in her heat today, to qualify fastest for the
final in a time of 2:58.82, 4.5 seconds faster than her rivals.
Howarth said: “It feels a lot different to come first in a race compared to coming third, but I do quite like both feelings – bronze
and gold, I can’t ask for more than that! It feels amazing to win medals in Rio, compared to London where I was still
young. I have been going from strength-to-strength in training so when I come into a big competition I can smash it, so
I am really happy. When I see how well everyone else on the team is doing, it just buzzes me up and gets me going,
because it’s so exciting seeing other New Zealand team members getting gold – I’m like wow, that’s so cool, that’s where
I am from.”
Sophie Pascoe
Sophie Pascoe won her last event at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, taking out the SILVER in the Women's 100m Freestyle
S10 in Rio de Janeiro in a time of 59.85, just five tenths behind Aurelie Rivard (Canada) in the gold medal position,
and well over a second ahead of third placed Elodie Lorandi (France). Pascoe qualified second behind Rivard earlier
today, with the Canadian Para-Swimmer having to set a Paralympic record in the heats and then again in the Finals to
beat Pascoe.
Yesterday, Pascoe matched New Zealand Paralympian Eve Rimmer’s record of 14 Paralympic medals. Her gold in the Women's
100m Butterfly S10 edged her ahead of Rimmer by merit of having 1 more gold medal. However, tonight’s result takes her
free and clear, as the most successful Paralympian New Zealand has ever produced, with a stunning 15 Paralympic medals:
9 gold, 6 silver.
The win also continues her absolute domination of the pool here in Rio, making her total medal count 3 GOLD and 2
SILVER. Pascoe also took out New Zealand’s 200th Paralympic medal early this week.
Pascoe said: “As you see, it’s a good fight, the old 100 free, and I think it’s really exciting that we’ve got an amazing rivalry
and friendship between us girls out there. Aurelie was the better person on the day. I gave it everything, I’ve left
everything out in that last race and that’s all I can give. To be able to back up race after race in 5 days, which
equals 10 races, is pretty challenging in itself. To be honest I am happy with how its ended. It may not be the gold but
it’s been a tough week and it’s been an amazing week also. And a bit of an emotional rollercoaster as well. But that’s
what you expect out of our Paralympic Games, you know. You are at the pinnacle of the pinnacle and you get to race with
the peak. I’m just glad it’s finished!”
Hamish McLean
Following his very near miss yesterday, New Zealand’s second youngest Paralympian, 16-year-old Hamish McLean, made his
first ever Paralympic Final today. McLean who took nearly 5 seconds off his personal best in a time of 5:22.88 to
qualify 6th fastest for the Men’s 200m Freestyle S6. McLean then swam to 7th overall in the Final, a few seconds slower
than his heat, in a time of 5:22.88.
McLean said: “I am pretty overwhelmed right now, very happy and so stoked to be here and represent New Zealand. I hope they think I
have done them proud and Wanaka as well. This has been such a big learning curve for me and for the rest of my swimming
career. I hope to take this experience, learn from it and perform even better in Tokyo 2020.”
Tupou Neiufi
Following her Paralympic debut yesterday, New Zealand’s youngest team member, 15-year-old Tupou Neiufi, made her second
appearance, this time finishing 5th in the Women’s 50m Freestyle S9 in a time of 31.37, not qualifying for her final.
Neiufi continues to make great progress here in Rio.
PARA-ATHLETICS
Holly Robinson
New Zealand’s flag bearer Holly Robinson was in personal best form as she won silver in the Women’s Javelin F46 at
Athletics Stadium in Rio. Robinson threw a massive personal best of 41.22m on her fifth attempt to secure the silver
medal. She proudly took the New Zealand flag once again from her supporters, and held it high as she celebrated her
success. The gold was won by Holly Arnold (Great Britain) with a world record throw of 43.01m.
Robinson said: “It felt awesome out there. I warmed up really well and was feeling really good. I opened up with a good distance which
I was happy with, I wanted to start off like that and just built on it. It felt great to be out there and the crowd was
awesome. The Brazilian crowds really get behind the competitors here and I loved it.”
PARA-SHOOTING
Michael Johnson
Four-time Paralympian, Para-Shooter Michael Johnson, was back in action today at the Olympic Shooting Range in Deodoro,
in the qualifying rounds for his second event of the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, the R5 - Mixed 10m Air Rifle Prone SH2.
Disappointingly, Johnson did not qualify for the Final despite spending the majority of the first part of session in the
Top 3. One poor round sent him to the back of the field and he was unable to recover from it. It was the end to a very
disappointing campaign for the 3-time Paralympic medallist, including gold medallist at the Athens 2004 Paralympic
Games, who went out of his other event earlier this week after an equipment malfunction on his rifle.
Johnson said: “So I started off and I was feeling pretty confident after the last couple of days of training. I changed to my back-up
rifle because I was a bit worried, as my first rifle was having some technical problems. So I changed to my back-up;
that’s going great. I started off awesome, little bit nervous, feeling a bit hot, but I just slowly got into the groove
and was cruising along and then – one of my shots, I was just holding on for a bit too long. So rather than just trying
to take your shot, you pull away and then start again – re-set. But just as I pulled away, my finger bumped the trigger
and I shot a 3. Once you shoot a shot that low, it’s really difficult to come back. It’s a very tough field and there
are a lot of top shooters that are out. But I was pretty confident that I would have been in the final, but it’s not to
be. Now it’s about looking forward, I have Tokyo in my sights. I’ll start again.”
Jason Eales
Meanwhile, Paralympic debutant Jason Eales shot in the same event, finishing in 17th of 34 – a superb effort for the
rookie. He did not make the Final.
“It is such an honour to compete here in Rio and to now be a New Zealand Paralympian. I was quite relieved when it was
over to be honest as we have had such a long build up to get to this point. I felt really calm and focussed. There were
a few times when my focus was fading, but I just focussed on the process and came back into it again. I was hoping for
top eight but what I achieved now is great and I am really happy with placing 17th out of 34 shooters on my debut. I am
definitely keen to compete in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics and to have this experience in Rio behind me will be a huge
advantage at my second Paralympic Games.”
PARA-SAILING
Andrew May, Rick Dodson and Chris Sharp
Following on from their superb first day on the water yesterday to finish 2nd, Andrew May, Rick Dodson and Chris Sharp
faced a challenging day today, as the conditions deteriorated and only 1 of 2 races scheduled went ahead. The second was
postponed until tomorrow to make a busy day, with three back-to-back races. The kiwis were doing quite well initially,
but dropped to 6th position, which still leaves them 4th place behind Australia, Canada and Greece with 7 races to go
before the medals.
Double Paralympian, Andrew May said: “It was a really long day today, a lot of waiting around for the conditions to
improve. Once we were on the water, it was a very interesting afternoon of racing. We felt really good and had a good
run down and back, but then the wind changed and the other boats that had chosen a different route benefited and we
didn’t. But that’s the sport! One thing we are very grateful for was all the extra training we did with the tides in
Waitemata Harbour, as we’ve been able to bring a lot of that experience over to Guanabara Bay.”
WHAT’S ON TOMORROW
Late call-up, Para-Canoeist Scott Martlew makes his first appearance at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games tomorrow in the
Men's 200m KL3. The Para-Cyclists move to the road section of the Games. Gold medallist Nikita Howarth and Bronze
medallist Rebecca Dubber will be back in the pool again and Greg Reid will compete as the last of the Para-Shooters. The
Para-Sailors will have a 3-race day.

2016 NZT, with a mighty global contingent of 4,350 other athletes from 160 countries. The Paralympics is the world’s
largest multi-sport event for disabled athletes. New Zealand will contest six Para-Sports, chasing a target of 18 medals
in total, including 12 gold medals.

The New Zealand Paralympic Team has today had what must be the most successful single day in its 48-year history,
collecting a record 2 GOLD medals and 1 BRONZE in the pool and 1 GOLD at the athletics track. The team, which had
already had an outstanding start to the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, came in to today with 9 medals in the bag, to add
another 4. The most successful day before today was Saturday NZT, when the team won 4 medals in just one hour; 1 gold, 2
silver and 1 bronze.
The first 2 medals came via epic races from seasoned performers, three-time Paralympians Cameron Leslie in the Men’s 150
Individual Medley SM4 and Sophie Pascoe in the Women’s 100m Butterfly S10. Leslie won gold and smashed his own World
Record for the second Paralympic Games in a row. In securing gold, Pascoe became New Zealand’s most successful
Paralympian ever, matching the medal haul of legendary Paralympian Eve Rimmer with 14, edging ahead of Rimmer with 9
gold to 8. Pascoe has now won 4 medals in Rio, 3 gold back-to-back and a silver with a personal best swim.
Over at the Olympic Stadium, Paralympic debutant Liam Malone certainly did not appear at all phased by the occasion; the
blade runner won gold in the Men’s 200m T44 and set a new Paralympic Record as he went. The gold will nicely complement
the silver he won a few days ago in the Men’s 100m T44, a result that saw him come from nowhere to secure 2nd after a
phenomenal charge over the last 30m.
Back at the pool, New Zealand’s youngest ever Paralympian four years ago at just 13, Nikita Howarth, won her first
Paralympic medal in a stellar swim that earned bronze in the Women's 200m IM SM7.
In the background, behind the camera and lights, the rest of the Team competed to the absolute limit, picking up a swag
of other results. Most particularly, the New Zealand Para-Sailing team has finished Day 1 of 5 days in the 3-Person
Keelboat (Sonar) class at the top of the leaderboard, in second equal.
While at athletics, Paralympian William Stedman set a new Paralympic record of 5.35m on his first attempt, in the Men’s
Long Jump T36, surpassing his personal best by 13cm. The record fell twice more as following competitors jumped further,
with Stedman finishing 5th overall at his first Games.
Rio 2016 Performance Manager, Malcolm Humm, said: “Today has been incredible. It’s really hard to explain how the team
is feeling at the moment, I mean – we are currently 7th on the medal table overall. Sophie Pascoe – just exceptional.
Liam Malone – a new superstar has been born. Cameron Leslie – outstanding, as always. There are a couple of athletes
that did not meet the expectations they had for themselves, or that maybe we had, but Mary Fisher in particular had an
extremely tough and close race. Nikita Howarth, well it was her first attempt at a Paralympic medal and maybe there were
a bit of nerves there, but she did great and it sets her up very well for her 200m IM in two days’.
He continues: “I’d also like to commend our Para-Sailors, who executed a perfect second race to come back from 8th in
the first race. They certainly learnt a lot first time out and changed a few things and it worked extremely well, it’s
very exciting. Will we meet our target of 18 medals, including 12 gold? I think we have a really great shot, especially
at the 18 medals. 12 gold? Well, we are capable of it but its’s going to be tough, really tough. Our athletes are really
going to have to push themselves over the next few days. Let’s see. I think we can do it. We’ve just go to keep
pushing.”
Overall, as the hottest day of the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games draws to a close, it’s fair to say the New Zealand
Paralympic Games Team is turning up the heat! As competition closed, New Zealand had the same number of gold medals as
Australia, taking it into 7th place behind the Aussies in 6th.
PARA-SWIMMING
Cameron Leslie
Leslie was the first Kiwi in the pool today. The current World Record holder took a commanding lead in the Men’s 150
Individual Medley SM4 heat to qualify fastest in 2:29.36. In the Final, he immediately took control to smash his own
World Record by over 2 seconds, setting a new time of 2:23.12, taking New Zealand’s 5th GOLD medal of the Rio 2016
Paralympic Games. Leslie finished ahead of Zhipeng Jin (China) and Jonas Larsen (Denmark). This is the third Paralympic
Games in a row that Leslie has set the World Record in this event, dominating since the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games 8
years ago.
Leslie said: “I certainly felt a mixture of a lot of pain out there tonight, but I just had to get through the motions
and remember the process. It is so easy for the wheels to fall off, if you focus on the pain.
We (Cameron and coach Simon Mayne) set a very challenging target time coming into this competition and we knew if we hit
that time a gold medal would be on. I am so glad we did set such a challenging one because Jin (Chinese competitor) was
pretty close behind in the end. I had no idea he was there, I was just focussed on making sure I did the things I could
control, right.”
Mary Fisher
Fisher then qualified third fastest for the Women’s 50m Freestyle S11 heat in a time of 31.35. She went on into what
turned out to be a brutal final, finishing 6th overall in a time of 31.80, half a second quicker than her heat. The race
was incredibly close, with the lead switching multiple times. The top 6 finishers were barely over a second apart. The
race was won by Guizhi Li in a World Record time of 30.73, followed by Maja Reichard (Sweden) and Maryna Piddubna
(Ukraine). Reichard finished in the bronze medal position three days ago when Fisher smashed her competitors in the
Women's 100m Backstroke S11, taking the World Record and a gold medal for New Zealand in a time of 1:17.96.
Fisher said: “It was definitely not the finish I was hoping for as I thought it was really possible to medal. My swim in
the heat this morning went really well. I went really straight and did not touch the lane rope once, which is the first
time for me. So the final tonight I was really hopeful and quite certain I could go faster but it just did not happen.
The first half of the race was really good, but the second half I just did not quite have a hold of my technique to
finish in the top three. It has been great to see Cam’s amazing swim tonight, and looking forward to watching Soph and
Nikita swim shortly too. I now have a couple of days off before my last two events.”
Sophie Pascoe
Pascoe then returned to the pool for the fourth day in a row, this time in the Women’s 100m Butterfly S10. In the heat
she set a new Paralympic Record of 1:04.37, 4 seconds ahead of the field. She then went on to win gold, becoming New
Zealand’s most successful Paralympian of all time by matching Eve Rimmer’s record of 14 medals, but edging ahead of her
on the colour – Pascoe winning a total of 9 gold, 5 silver and 0 bronze compared to Rimmer’s 8 gold, 5 silver and 1
bronze. Today, Pascoe set another Paralympic Record of 1:02.65 and just missed breaking her own World Record of 1:02.60
set earlier in 2016. She annihilated Yi Chen (China) and Oliwia Jablonska (Poland) by more than 4 and 5 seconds
respectively. The win continues her absolute domination of the pool her in Rio de Janeiro, making this her third GOLD
medal in a row, to add to the SILVER she won earlier this week in a personal best time. Pascoe also had the honour of
taking our New Zealand’s 200th Paralympic medal.
Pascoe said: “I have only just learnt tonight that I have won the most gold medals of any New Zealand Paralympian and
that hasn’t quite sunk in yet. But I just go out there and give it everything. I challenge myself every day to take on
the biggest challenge of all, taking on the world in the pool. That is what I did tonight. Now it is about focussing on
the next one, the 100m Freestyle tomorrow.”
Nikita Howarth
The final New Zealand Paralympian in the pool to compete in the heats was Nikita Howarth in the Women’s 50m Butterfly
S7. Currently ranked number 1 in world, Howarth went into the final as the fastest qualifier in a time of 35.40. She
finished in a time of 35.97, five tenths of a second behind silver medallist Courtney Jordan and nine tenths behind gold
medallist, Susannah Rodgers in first.
Howarth said: “Tonight it was a bit different than this morning’s heat. I did not stroke the last 15 metres very well
and that is what caused the bronze medal. I am still really happy with bronze. The rest of the field was a lot older
than me so I still have a lot of time to go, so I’m happy.”
Hamish McLean
New Zealand’s second youngest Paralympian, 16-year-old Hamish McLean, had an exceptional day in the pool today. He
finished the heats of the Men’s 200m Individual Medley SM6 in 5th place, putting him 9th fastest overall with a time of
2:59.81. McLean missed making his first ever Paralympic Final by the skin of his teeth - just over a tenth of a second,
and it was not a PB. The youngster was justifiably thrilled with his performance, as it puts him in good stead for
preparations leading toward Tokyo 2020.
Tupou Neiufi
New Zealand’s youngest team member, 15-year-old Tupou Neiufi, made her Paralympic debut today. She competed in the
Women’s 100m Freestyle S9, finishing 7th in 1:11.21. Neiufi did not qualify for the Finals, but certainly won the
competition for the loudest kiwi supporters, with her mother Lose living up to the promise she made on TV1’s Seven Sharp
recently, to cheer loudest for her daughter.
PARA-ATHLETICS
While over at the Olympic Stadium, Liam Malone once again showed the sporting world that he meant business by setting a
Paralympics record winning the Men’s 200m T44 in 21.06. Malone showed his true power moving through the race to cross
the line ahead of Hunter Woodhall (USA) in 21.12 and David Bahre (Germany) in 21.41. This will add to the silver medal
won by Malone in the Men’s 100m T44 on day two in Rio when he accelerated at a phenomenal pace through in the last 30
metres to take second. Johnnie Peacock won gold equaling his Paralympic record of 10.81 set in the heats. Malone, who
got his first set of blades following through donations from the New Zealand public, said:
“To be honest, I’m pretty wired at the moment. I can’t wait to get back to the Village and have some food! I’m on the
bus with the team. I can’t believe I won. I mean, I wanted to win of course, and I definitely thought I could do it,
especially after Friday (when he won silver) but it was really tough. Hunter was right there; he was fast. It was a
challenge to keep ahead of him. He is young, only 19.”
Meanwhile, Paralympic debutant William Stedman set a Paralympic record of 5.35m on his first attempt in the Men’s Long
Jump T36, surpassing his personal best by 13cm. Following Stedman’s jump, this record was then exceeded by two other
Paralympians. Stedman finished in 5th place. Jacob Phillips ran his second final of the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games
finishing 8th in the Men’s 200m T35 final in a time of 29.10. This exceptional young man overcame cancer to reach the
finals in Rio today.
PARA-SAILING
The 3-Person Keelboat (Sonar) class competition got underway for the first time today, with Andrew May, Rick Dodson and
Chris Sharp taking to the water of Guanabara Bay. The team finished Race 1 in 8th position, but bounced back in Race 2
to finish in 1st position, taking them to 2nd overall on the leader board behind Australia and in front of Greece,
Germany and Canada. Coming into the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, Australia and Great Britain are considered New Zealand’s
greatest rivals. Great Britain on the other hand had a poor day, finishing 11th overall. The New Zealand team has been
training closely with Australia over the past few months, so the boys know them well.
Andrew Brown, Head Coach: “This is a long series with 10 races in total, so it is early days. In race one the guys got
off to an average start and had to slowly work their way through the fleet to finish in 8th. We regrouped in between
races and focussed on our routine. We got a good start in race two and closed in on the second placed boat at the top
mark, they jived at the top mark and got a nice wind shift into first place and were never headed off after that. We now
sit in second equal, but we are not reading anything into this placing at this early stage.”
WHAT’S ON TOMORROW
New Zealand flag-bearer Holly Robinson makes her first appearance at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games tomorrow in the
Women's Javelin F46 and Sophie Pascoe will make her last appearance. The Para-Sailors will be out on the water again,
with the Para-Shooters in action again too. Watch out for:
· Para-Swimmers: Sophie Pascoe; Nikita Howarth; Hamish McLean; Tupou Neiufi
· Para-Shooters: Michael Johnson; Jason Eales
· Para-Athletics: Holly Robinson
· Para-Sailors: Chris Sharp, Andrew May and Rick Dodson
