Libby sets new record on her way to Beijing silver

NEWCASTLETON’S Libby Clegg is celebrating a 100m silver medal and a new British record at the Paralympic Games in Beijing.

The 18-year old visually-impaired sprinter, who trains at Carlisle’s Sheepmount Stadium, had improved the British record in every round and it took Ukrainian world champ Oxana Boturchuk running the second fastest time in Paralympic history to beat her.
