Swimmer's remarkable act of sportsmanship for teammate at Invictus Games
WWOS staff
Fans at the Invictus Games were treated to an incredible act of mateship during the women’s freestyle heats, with British pair Poppy Pawsey and Sarah Robinson stealing the show on day four.
While Pawsey and Sarah Robinson didn’t win their race, but the sportsmanship on display between the women was a feature.
Pawsey qualified eighth in her swim and even though she was fatigued, she swam back down the pool to support Robinson over the remaining 25 metres. As they made their way back down the pool, the pair embraced.
“That’s what it is all about here. I am so, so proud of her,” Pawsey told Invictus Gamesmedia.
