Australia’s Paris 2024 team co-captain, Curtis McGrath, will make his way onto the water to get his double gold medal defence underway on Day 9 of the Paris 2024 Paralympics Games, live and free on the 9Network and 9Now.
McGrath gets his campaign underway in the heats of the Para Canoe and joining him in the water is a stacked schedule of Para Swimming featuring 12 Australians. Rachael Watson is going for three 50m freestyle gold medals in a row, while Tom Gallagher is on the hunt for his second victory at Paris 2024.
On the track, freshly crowned 400m T36 gold medallist James Turner will turn his focus to the 100m in the Para Athletics.
And after raking in four medals in the Road time trials, our Para Cycling team will take on the Road Race straight off the top of the coverage at 5.30pm AEST on 9GemHD. Meg Lemon, Alana Forster and “The Flying Mullet” Alistair Donohue are all eager to go one better than their silver medals from the Time Trial.
