Paralympic Gold for Libby Clegg

  • Submitted by: Jeremy Balfour, Lothian, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 12 September 2016
  • Motion reference: S5M-01393

That the Parliament congratulates Libby Clegg on winning the T11 100m at the Paralympic Games in Rio; notes that Libby, a former pupil of the Royal Blind School, has a deteriorating eye condition known as Stargardt’s Macular Dystrophy disease, which means she only has slight peripheral vision in her left eye, and commends her commitment to sport, which has led her to becoming one of Great Britain and Scotland’s most successful track and field athletes of recent years, previously winning two Paralympic Games silver medals and World Championship and European Championship gold medals.
