Another victory for Paralympic champion of Cyprus Caroline Pelendritou

Another victory for Paralympic champion of Cyprus Caroline Pelendritou
“Cyprus, do you understand what Carolina did to Pelendrita?” cried the Cyprus Paralympic Committee after Caroline Pelendritu won a bronze medal in the SB11 (severely visually impaired swimmers category) 100m breaststroke at the Paralympic Games.

This happened on Thursday, September 5th. The bronze was Pelendrit's second medal at the Games, following silver in the 50m freestyle on Saturday 31 August. In total, this is her eighth medal in six Paralympic Games.

“Cyprus, do you realize that Caroline’s name was mentioned in a crowded stadium at La Defense Arena in Paris? She brought glory to us again by winning two medals at the 17th Summer Paralympics!” - the committee continued.

Chairman of the Cyprus Athletics Association Yiannis Ioannou, who attended the event in Paris, called Pelendrita a symbol of will and competitiveness. “Once again you have made us proud. Our country will be forever grateful to you,” he said.

The Office of the President of Cyprus also expressed congratulations in a post on Platform X (formerly Twitter): “Warm congratulations to Caroline Pelendrit who continues to make us proud by recording another great success for Cyprus... Caroline, thank you again! Your determination and strength is an inspiration to us all.”

22-year-old Russian swimmer Daria Lukyanenko became the champion of the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris (France) in the 100 m breaststroke in the SB11 class. Lukyanenko covered the proposed distance in 1:18.31. This is a new record in the history of the Paralympics.

This success means that Pelendritou has won 80% of all Cyprus Paralympic medals, with the only other medals coming from runner Antonis Aresti, who took the honors in Beijing in 2008.

Офис президента Кипра также выразил поздравления в посте на платформе X (ранее Twitter): «Теплые поздравления Каролине Пелендриту, которая продолжает заставлять нас гордиться, записав еще один большой успех для Кипра… Каролина, спасибо тебе еще раз! Твоя решимость и сила вдохновляют всех нас».

22-летняя российская пловчиха Дарья Лукьяненко стала чемпионкой Паралимпийских игр – 2024 в Париже (Франция) на дистанции 100 м брассом в классе SB11. Лукьяненко преодолела предложенную дистанцию за 1.18,31. Это новый рекорд в истории Паралимпиад.

Этот успех означает, что Пелендриту завоевала 80% всех паралимпийских медалей Кипра, а единственные другие медали принадлежат бегуну Антонису Арести, который взял награды в Пекине в 2008 году.
