Australia’s Para-sport athletes have had a measure of success at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. After four days of competition Australia’s Para-athletes have won four gold, four silver and six bronze medals, or almost half of the 30 Para-sport medals that have been on offer.
Paralympian Jodi Elkington’s victory in the women’s F37/38 long jump Para-sport gold medal won by Australia outside of the pool.
“I think I won with all my six jumps. To take that away again it’s very good given it’s my first international competition with long jump. My aim was 4.40, I was one centimetre off. Even getting over the 4.30 twice I was really happy with that.” Elkington commented.

Australia has won 73 medals after four days of competition – 26 gold, 21 silver and 26 bronze.
