Our People in Paris - Peta Maloney Wonder where the athletes go, and who looks after them, to prepare their bodies before and to recover after their events? The Australian Team Recovery Hub at the Paris 2024 Athlete Village provides recovery and heat management services and in addition to nutrition. The Hub, led by Australian Sports Commission (ASC) Senior REST Hub Adviser Dr Peta Maloney, alongside ASC Senior Recovery Physiologist Dr Steph Davies, features purpose-built chilling units and specially designed accessible ice baths/seats. “For many athletes, the Recovery Hub is where the day starts and ends, coming in early for precooling and finishing with post-competition/training recovery,” Peta said. “Each day I will be supporting the delivery of recovery and heat management strategies, completing athlete consultations, helping to prepare eskies with cooling and nutrition requirements, providing competition support to implement cooling plans, and cleaning and maintaining equipment in the hub.” Learn more about Our People in Paris 👇 #Paris2024 #Paralympics | Paralympics Australia - Australian Institute Of Sport

“I really can’t believe what I’ve accomplished in these Games. I couldn’t be more happy.” Seven years ago, a training accident left Lauren Parker with a broken back and spinal-cord damage, a broken shoulder and ribs, a punctured lung and shattered pelvis. Today, she became Australia's first dual-sport Paralympic gold medallist in 48 years as she added the H1-4 road race gold to her PTWC1 triathlon gold. "Hard work pays off. I've put in a lot of hard work in training and my preparation, so I'm just so stoked that it has paid off," said Parker. "I hope I can bring hope to other people and kids out there with disabilities. I want to show them anything is possible." You've shown everyone that possibilities are endless. #Paris2024 #Paralympics AusCycling - Australian Institute Of Sport - Paralympics Australia

"After getting second in Tokyo by less than a second, that's been a big driving force over the last three years. "Every single day, every single training session, I've worked so hard to accomplish what I have today.
