A welcome home event for paralympic gold medallist, Nikki Ayers, is happening on the South Coast this Friday (September 20).
The Aussies brought home 60 medals at this year’s Paralympic Games including just 18 gold with one of those coming back to the Far South Coast.
Ayers won gold for Australia, after finishing first ahead of Great Britain and Germany in the PR3 Mixed Double Sculls with rowing partner Jed Altschwager in Paris in early September.
The Dalmeny local will be celebrated from 6pm on Friday (September 20) at the Breakwall Brewery in Narooma.
Everyone is invited to come and welcome back ‘Nik’.
If you don’t know the 33-year-old’s incredible story of growing up on the South Coast, moving to Canberra and suffering a cruel leg injury which brought her promising rugby career crashing down before she set out on with a new dream of winning gold – listen, to the iHeart Far South Coast podcast, anytime below or wherever you get your podcasts.
