Paris 2024: ParalympicsGB start day six with early medals

Must read

At some point, it becomes a question of storage.

Baker may need to build an extra shelf after she won her ninth Paralympic medal in the individual grade III event.

The 34-year-old, who has now won medals at the past four games, returned to action after the birth of her son Joshua in April 2023.

“I’m not as fit as I was in Tokyo, I’m juggling being the best mum I can be and the best athlete I can be,” said Baker, who scored 73.167 on Dawn Chorus.

“The juggle is real, you know on your computer when you have a million tabs open, that’s my brain at all times, anyone who is a mum will understand.”

Her success was mirrored by Wilson in the grade II competition, with the Tokyo medallist coming in third with a score of 73.414.

Debutant Mari Durward-Akhurst will hope to make it three from three when she goes in the grade I event (12:45).
