Colin's Gold Run
Like sprinter Michael Johnson’s memorable gold running spikes, paracycling World Champion Colin Lynch dazzled the opposition with his golden prosthesis at the weekend, as he maintained his 100% winning record in the Rudy Project National Time Trial Series.
Following his latest victory, held around Lake Bassenthwaite in Cumbria, Colin was resplendent in his new Pace Rehabilitation provided golden prosthesis. His hat trick of wins means that he now has a commanding lead in the Disability category of the series.
Colin’s prosthesis certainly stands out from the crowd, as he explains, “I did get ribbed about it at first, but the gold reminds me of what I am hoping to win at the Games in September!”
He continued, “I really appreciate the support that the team at Pace have given me. The prosthesis they’ve provided is incredible and the gold chrome finish makes it even more eye catching!”
Scott Richardson, Pace Rehabilitation’s Business Development Manager, explains, “Since we started supporting Colin in 2010, he has developed his own Midas touch. Earlier this year, in Los Angeles, he won his second World Champion title in 6-months. So, in recognition of this and the forthcoming Paralympics, we’ve introduced some bling to Colin’s device!”
Colin is now taking a break from the Rudy Project Series, to concentrate on his International duties and races, not least the 2012 Games. He does however plan to return for the final events in September, to hopefully secure overall victory and cap a golden season of competition.
