Lisa Kruger's Stunning Comeback
Lisa Kruger, an exceptional swimmer, made headlines by seizing her second bronze medal during the prestigious Paralympic Games held in Paris. Initially, the athlete faced disqualification after the 200-meter individual medley (SM10) due to alleged failure to touch with both hands during a stroke transition. However, with a vigorous protest by her team, Kruger was reinstated as a bronze medalist.
Details of the Disqualification
- Kruger was disqualified for not using both hands at the stroke transition.
- Her team gathered compelling evidence showing Kruger had indeed touched with both hands.
