Alexa Leary is officially Australia's golden girl of the Paralympics.
00:08
Last night she won her first individual gold in the women's S19 100m freestyle, setting
00:13
a world record.
00:15
Only days earlier she swam that cracker final leg in the relay to clinch team gold.
00:19
But she's golden for so many other reasons.
00:22
Three years ago her parents Russ and Belinda were told to say their goodbyes after a terrible
00:27
cycling accident left her with multiple fractures and a traumatic brain injury.
00:31
It's a miracle that I'm living, that I'm walking and talking, she said after her race.
00:35
And it is.
00:37
She loves music, she loves dancing, she loves the beach and her puppy Harvey.
00:41
Alexa, Australia loves you.
00:43
At the pool, Grant Scooter-Patterson and Rikki Bittar both won bronze, and elsewhere Chin
00:47
Yeung won her second table tennis gold of the Games in the women's singles after taking
00:52
the doubles earlier in the week.
00:54
And out at the cycling time trial, Lauren Parker became Australia's first dual sport
00:59
Paralympic medalist in 44 years, winning silver in the women's H13 event after winning gold
01:05
in the triathlon on Monday.
01:07
Meg Lemon and the flying mullet Alistair Donoghue won silver in their events, and Alana Foster
01:12
and Darren Hicks won bronze in theirs.
01:14
It was a big day seven, and we can't wait to see what's next.
