Becca’s Off To Beijing
Paralympian hopes after 12 months |
|
A teenager has surprised her coaches by making the British Paralympic team for two sports she tried for the first time only 12 months ago. Becca Chin, 16, from Deganwy, will represent team GB in the discus and shot put at the Beijing Games. The Conwy teenager has already had a busy year preparing for 11 GCSEs. But once her exams are over, she will spend the rest of the summer in athletics training before heading for China in September. She said: “I never saw Beijing as my target - I thought it was London 2012. “I’d go to school, and then come home and either revise or train… so it’s been full on. “But then, just after winter, I realised how well I was doing I just kept on progressing more and more in each competition. “And then I qualified for Beijing, which I was really surprised about, but really happy.” ‘Achievement’ Disability Sport Wales has 70 young athletes in its academy. It is hoping to have 50 members from Wales in the GB team at the 2012 games. The organisation took 23 members to Athens. Becca will do her summer training at Deeside athletics club in Connah’s Quay. Her coach, John Parkin, said: “She has developed very quickly. That amount of improvement in any athlete, able-bodied or otherwise, is tremendous, really. “She’s a good athlete, she listens to everything you tell her, and tries to do everything you tell her, and she’s trained really hard this winter.” Gerwyn Owen, of Disability Sport Wales, said: “It’s a great achievement at such a young age.”
