Nicole Turner has finished in third place tonight in the S6 50m Freestyle, to win her second bronze medal of the week at the World Para Swimming European Open Championships in Madeira, Portugal.
Nicole finished with a time of 35.56
seconds, smashing her own Personal Best in the S6 50m Freestyle. Nicole brought
the fight, as she battled for third place with Eleanor Robinson from Team GB,
who finished 2.87 seconds behind the Irish swimming superstar.
The S6 50m Freestyle is not one of
Nicole’s regular events, however, Nicole showed her true class and character to
claim third place, showing she can compete for podium finishes in multiple
disciplines.
Nicole will return to action tomorrow
evening in the 100m Backstroke, followed by her main event, the 50m Butterfly,
which will take place on Saturday at 18:20.
