Swimmer Tom Gallagher delivered Australia’s first gold medal of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games when he won the 50m freestyle S10 final
‘The Games represent, above all, a unique platform to share our commitment to spreading the culture of well-being, sport and health throughout the world.’
This comes after swimmer Tom Gallagher delivered Australia’s first gold medal of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games to cap a remarkable comeback from a near-fatal bout of pancreatitis.
Gallagher, 25, won the men’s 50m freestyle S10 final at a packed La Defense Arena to take first place with a finishing time of 23.40 seconds.
He held off a chasing group that included his Australian teammate Rowan Crothers, who finished the race with bronze.
Gallagher’s gold and Crothers’ third place took Australia’s medal total in the pool to four on the first day in Paris, following an earlier silver for Lakeisha Patterson and a bronze for Brenden Hall.
The success was especially gratifying for Gallagher, who finished with a bronze in the 400m freestyle S10 in Tokyo, but his pancreatitis caused him so much pain that he was unable to take his place on the podium.
“To be the first gold medal of the competition means a lot to me,” Gallagher said.
‘In Tokyo I was a different athlete, I had a lot of medical problems with my pancreas, so after the 400m, I ended up in the hospital for about a month and almost died.
‘Luckily, a few years ago I had surgery and everything was fixed, and now I can become a sprinter.
‘Pancreatitis is extremely painful, my heart rate went up to 240 bpm and all my internal organs started to shut down.
“I didn’t get to make the podium that night, but winning gold makes up for it.”
