Para swimming champion matched by her dog in gold medal winning feats
Para swimmer Jenna Jones claimed breakthrough gold at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, and her dog is proving to be a surprise sporting companion.
Jenna Jones, a Para swimmer from Australia, has been matched by her Australian shepherd, Luna, in her gold medal-winning feats. The pair competes in a sport called rally, where they are tested on obedience and agility. Luna is also a gold medallist. This unique partnership has strengthened their bond, and they are now in discussions to become ambassadors for Luna, although Luna is increasingly becoming a model dog.
Jones, who recently secured gold in the women's 100 metre S13 freestyle at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, is now set to participate in the Para Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in California. She is excited to watch her rookie teammates debut and is grateful for all the opportunities and friendships she has gained through swimming.
Despite the challenges of balancing her study and sporting career, Jones remains proud of her achievements, recalling her younger self breaking records at her first national championships.
