Aged just 15, Sophie Pascoe was the youngest member of the New Zealand team at Beijing 2008 where she won three gold and one silver medal in the Water Cube.
Her success in Beijing earned her four awards at the 2009 Canterbury Sportsperson Awards, including the prestigious Sportsperson of the Year Award.
At London 2012 she did even better than in Beijing taking home three gold and three silver medals in front of 17,000 people.
"I'm incredibly rapped to finish the games off like that. My ultimate goal was to get on the podium and that's what I've done. I'm finished and had a great campaign," she said after the final race of her second Paralympic Games.
Pascoe is clearly hungry for more. After setting personal bests in all the races she won silver in at London 2012 she will be determined to add to her gold medal collection at the 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships.
