SWIMMING How friends sent double amputee Joy Ndirangu on the path to 2024 Paralympic Games
Ndirangu was born with both legs but her life changed after she was involved in an accident on April 16, 2019.
“I’m in a good place…right now I feel like I’m ready for the national trials,” Nderitu told KBC Sport after winning the category.
However, the journey has not been all rosy as he has been required to master the art of balancing between the sport and work. He added that it has taken him tons of sacrifice to get to the top.
“It takes a lot of hard work in training. For me, it has been very difficult to balance between my job and the training but somehow, I have managed,” he said.
Meanwhile, the trials will be used to pick teams for the World Championships in Fukuoka in July, the World short course Championships in Israel (September), and the Commonwealth Youth Games in Trinidad and Tobago (August).
