Danielle Dorris has done it again. The Canadian swimmer won gold in the women's S7 50-metre butterfly on Saturday at the Paris Paralympics, successfully defending her title from three years ago at the Tokyo Games.
Dorris, who also holds the world record in the event, touched the wall in 32.66 seconds. American Mallory Weggemann took silver in 34.94 seconds, while Italy's Giulia Terzi rounded out the podium in 35.40 seconds.
Dorris, the 21-year-old from Moncton, N.B., was fastest out of the blocks and never looked back, flirting with her own world-record pace for much of the race before fading some late.
Still, it was more than enough for the Canadian to claim her second career Paralympic title and third medal. She also owns a silver from the 100m backstroke in Tokyo.
