Moncton’s Danielle Dorris will bring home two medals from the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo.

She earned the gold medal today in the S7 50-metre fly para-swimming event, breaking her own world record achieved just hours prior.

Her final time was 32.99 seconds.

Dorris won her first Paralympic medal earlier this week, a silver in the S7 100-metre backstroke event.

This is her second para summer games at only 18 years old.
