Anna-Lena Niehues becomes a medal collector in the park of the Palace of Versailles. A table tennis player has secured silver. In the road race, the Germans are lagging behind.
Dressage rider Anna-Lena Niehues has won the silver medal at the Paralympics. In the freestyle, the 40-year-old received 80.900 points on Quimbaya in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles and came second behind the Dutch rider Demi Haerkens. She was 2.490 points away from gold. For Niehues, it was her third medal at the Games in Paris after bronze in the individual and team rankings.
“It was a great, harmonious and at the same time expressive round from the two of them. There was a small mistake in the canter change, but they mastered all the compulsory lessons perfectly – and that’s what earned them the points,” said national coach Silke Fütterer-Sommer.
Mikolaschek in the table tennis final
Table tennis player Sandra Mikolaschek has already secured silver. In the semifinals, the paraplegic defeated the Chinese Gu Xiaodan 3:1. The Serbian Borislava Peric-Rankovic awaits in the final at 6 p.m.
After her time trial victory in the road race, Maike Hausberger was not able to make it onto the podium. The 29-year-old finished ninth in Clichy-sous-Bois, just outside Paris, with a deficit of almost six and a half minutes. Michael Teuber finished eleventh after taking silver in the individual time trial.
