## Resource

Josh Willmer, New Zealand’s para-swimmer, stunned the crowd by claiming silver in the men’s 100m breaststroke SB9 at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games — a dramatic twist after a technical disqualification bumped him from bronze to silver. Though he’d won gold in this event four years ago, this year he raced against SB9 competitors in the SB8 class, finishing third with a Games record time of 1:11.44. The gold went to Australia’s Beau Matthews, while Canada’s Fernando Lu was disqualified — a last-minute twist that left Willmer scrambling to prepare for media duties. Still, he celebrated the silver, praising his race strategy and embracing the challenge of competing against higher-class athletes, even training with able-bodied swimmers.
