Zsófia Konkoly already won a gold medal in her first race at the Paris Paralympics in the 400m freestyle, but the best is yet to come, as the main event for the student of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Pécs is the butterfly, which is still a few days away.
The 22-year-old from Pécs has now secured the Hungarian delegation's first podium finish at the Paralympic Games in Paris. Zsófia won the preliminary heat in the morning and qualified for the evening final with the second-best time, where she finished first in 4:39.78 after an amazing run. This week, the gold medallist swimmer has three events left: the 100m backstroke S9, the 200m medley SM9 and Zsófi's main event, the 100m butterfly S9.
