Poem
Susie was inspired by the Beijing Paralympics, To pursue her talent at swimming, to train hard, So she was classified as an S7, deformed limbs, And won three medals in London, one in Rio. She has a BA in languages from Newcastle, Which she uses in her British Council work, And first appeared in Berlin city at the Euros, In Germany’s 2011 IPC Championships. In London she won freestyle bronze 100m, Another bronze for the 400 metres freestyle, And yet another bronze for the 4x100m relay, Also free - it’s where you do the front crawl. In the French city of Montreal in Canada, Quebec, Susie secured 1 gold and 4 silvers, Gold for the 4x100m freestyle relay 34pts, Silvers for 50, 100, 400 free and for 50 fly. In 2014 in Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Susie took five golds: the 50m butterfly, The 50, 100 and the 400 metres freestyle, And another for the 100m freestyle relay. Then in Glasgow at the IPC Worlds 2015, Susie won a gold 4x100m medley relay, Also a bronze for the 100 metres freestyle, So Funchal 2016 (Euros) came naturally. In Funchal which exists on Madeira island, Susie took five golds: the 50 metres butterfly, The 50m, the 100m and the 400m freestyle, And another for the medley relay, the 100m. So in Rio she rejoiced when she won gold, In the 50m butterfly in a time of 35.07 secs; She could not believe it because she’s 33, And intended to retire after London 2012.
