Islander Annie Caddick is celebrating after securing a silver medal at this summer's Paralympics.
Annie made her Paralympics GB debut in the PR3 Mixed double sculls (PR3 Mix 2x) alongside Sam Murray, with the pair making history as the first crew to win silver in this new boat class.
It comes as Great Britain recorded its best ever Para Rowing performance and topped the medal table, winning with three gold medals and one silver at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
Annie said:
“It was such a tight race with everyone right there - the adrenaline rush the whole time was going.
"We didn’t settle, we had to keep pushing. At the end Sam said “we’ve got to go!” and I felt him surge, I had to hold on and go with him.
"We’ve built trust and a bond, so no matter how bad you’re feeling - if one of us goes, we both go. Having this medal means a lot. It’s been a long journey to get here, I’m so proud of us.”
“I'm just proud of our performance. I was really happy with our start and it was such a tight race, so exciting."
