Australian Sailing Team Paralympic medallists - 2016 Rio Olympic and Paralympic Games Nic Douglass / www.AdventuresofaSailorGirl.com
Behind every Olympic and Paralympic medal is an amazing adventure and journey, this is the first in a series of videos looking at the #RoadToRio with the Australian Sailing Team medallists, celebrating their homecoming and looking back on their journey.

The Rio Paralympics resulted in medals for all of our Australian Sailing Team Paralympians (amazing!), in the Sonar: Colin Harrison, Russell Boaden and Jonathan Harris with coach Grant Alderson, Skud18: Daniel Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch with coach Geoff Woolley, and 2.4: Matt Bugg and coach Richard Scarr.

Segments of the video include most recently at the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia on 22 September 2016, at Sailing World Cup Melbourne in December 2015 and at the Yachting Australia Awards in October 2014.
