🏅 Welsh discus champions, Funmi Oduwaiye and Bree Cronin, light up the stage at the World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi! 🇮🇳✨
Cardiff’s own Oduwaiye threw an impressive 37.91m, just missing a podium spot by over a metre in the F44 event. Right behind her, debutant Cronin, originally from Abertridwr, wowed with a commendable throw of 37.69m. This marks an incredible moment for both athletes on the world stage! 🌟
Funmi, who also competes in shot put, shared her excitement: “Having Bree by my side pushes us both to greater heights. It was a bit lonely at the last World Championships, so it’s fantastic to have a teammate this time around.” 🏆
Bree, with dreams once set on the army before fate took a different turn, has risen rapidly in para athletics, learning and growing every step of the way. “It’s a massive stage compared to what I’m used to, but despite the nerves, I enjoyed every moment,” she reflected. 🥏
Onward and upward for this incredible duo! Next stop: the Commonwealth Games and dreams of LA 2028 await. Let’s cheer them on as they continue to inspire with their dedication and talent. 🎉🌍
Dive into their journey and feel the adrenaline—pouring every ounce of passion into their throws, these athletes embody the spirit of perseverance and camaraderie. Stay tuned for more updates on their athletic adventures! 🙌⚡
