Colombia’s Family Fortunes!
As we near the end of a our look back to Paris 2024, we turn to the BC4 pairs final and the incredible Colombian brother-sister combination of Edilson and Leidy Chica (Pic: Raquel Gouveia).
The Colombians were the reigning world champions and they proved why they are such a powerful duo.
They were up against Hong Kong pair Leung Yuk Wing and Cheung Yuen, who had knocked out Canada in the semi-finals.
Both Edilson and Leidy landed some deadly heavy blows in the early stages to go into a 6-0 lead and although Hong Kong got on the scoreboard, they eventually went down, 6-1.
It was a second medal for Edilson Chica, who had won silver in the men’s BC4 competition.
