Applegate wins gold

18:45, Sep 2 2012

 

Jessica-Jane Applegate swam a perfectly controlled race to claim ParalympicsGB's third gold medal in the pool with victory in the S14 200 metres freestyle.

Applegate, who turned 16 less than a fortnight ago, had qualified fastest after breaking her own British record on Sunday morning.

She was fourth at the halfway stage before making a move on the third length and was in the bronze medal position with 50m to go.

The City of Norwich swimmer then produced a storming final length to overhaul her rivals and was pulling further ahead when she touched in two minutes 12.63 seconds.
