She brought home her second gold medal in the women’s C1-2 10km scratch race with Switzerland’s Flurina Rigling, winning silver and Christelle Ribault of France the bronze.

“I would say the 3km IP and 10km scratch races were the hardest races out of all of them.”

Amanda won her third gold medal in C2 500m time trial and she finished the event with a silver medal in the women’s omnium, behind Kate Toft of Great Britain.

“It was amazing to compete in the new indigenous team kit and be part of a team where all athletes came home with a medal.”

Fellow NSWIS athlete Gordon Allan won bronze in the 1000M C2 time trial.
