Interesting fact: Madison de Rozario, who recently made history, also holds the Australian record for the 800m and 1500m T53 events. On the other hand, Michael Roeger is a notable record holder as well; he has claimed gold at previous world championships, cementing his status as one of Australia’s elite long-distance runners.

As we cheer on our fantastic athletes in Paris, let’s remember that their achievements are not just for the medals but also for the inspiration they provide to millions back home. The future looks bright, and the excitement is palpable!
