Paralympian Richael Timothy: On a high with a new personal best 

Richael Timothy started cycling in 2017
following an acquired brain injury. 

Cyclist Richael Timothy is on a high after finishing the 3km pursuit in the Tokyo Paralympic Games with a new personal best, slashing her previous time by 14 seconds.

"We don't have time to do anything but focus," she says with a wide smile via Zoom. "I feel like everything is going well. I'm peaking where I should be peaking and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the experience and learning as much as I possibly can."
