New Zealand athlete Holly Robinson made the country proud with a stunning performance at the Para Athletics World Championships in Kobe, Japan. Robinson, a veteran competitor at the event, secured a silver medal in the women’s shot put F46 category with a record-breaking throw of 12.25m.
The 29-year-old Kiwi had tough competition from world record-holder Noelle Malkamaki of the US, who took the gold with a mighty throw of 13.12m. However, Robinson showcased her talent and experience by steadily building through the competition and ultimately claiming the silver medal on the podium.
Robinson’s journey to silver was a challenging one, with strong performances from other athletes pushing her to her limits. However, she held her nerve and delivered a series of impressive throws, culminating in her record-breaking effort in the final round.
Speaking after her victory, Robinson expressed her relief and excitement at achieving such a significant milestone in her career. She also expressed her confidence in her abilities moving forward, hinting at more success to come in future competitions.
The next Kiwi athlete to watch out for at the championships is Danielle Aitchison, who will be defending her world women’s 200m T36 title. With Robinson’s inspiring performance setting the stage, New Zealand fans are eagerly anticipating more success from their talented Para athletes.
