PARALYMPICS

We were fortunate to get tickets to attend the Paralympics and get to watch Ellie Simmonds in action.

The day was truly amazing and even though it went on late into the evening our children did not want to leave & even asking to return the following day!

We witnessed 7, yes 7 World Records whilst at the aquatics centre.

ELLIE SIMMONDS became the Princess of the Pool the 4ft 1inch double Gold medallist from Walsall could be worth millions due to her success in London. The swimming ace, who added a Silver and Bronze at London 2012 became the ‘darling of the fans’

Simmonds, 17, also won two Gold’s in Beijing four years ago, and currently earns around £300,000 a year from her sponsors such as Adidas, Sainsbury’s and BMW, this will surely escalate as her management team capitalise on her fame, although Ellie is not thinking about financial rewards.

Ellie said: “I am so happy it’s all finished but I’m still emotional because it has been such a great 10 days.
“The World Championships is the next big thing and then Rio will roll around fast.”

All in all we had a wonderful day & enjoyed the high jump as much as the swimming. The stadium was amazing and was at full capacity. We had previously been on a tour of the Olympic stadium, but the atmosphere on the day was the most amazing thing ever!
