Para swimming champion matched by her dog in gold medal winning feats

Despite a common belief, Australian Paralympic swimming champion Jenna Jones and her Australian shepherd, Luna, are equally accomplished on the sports arena. The two compete together in rally, a sport demanding obedience and agility from both handler and dog. Luna has also earned a gold medal, enhancing their bond and sparking discussions about possible ambassadorship and runway modeling for Luna.

Meanwhile, Jones secured gold in the women's 100-meter S13 freestyle at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, her first individual title ten years after her debut at the Rio Paralympics. The Glasgow experience has fueled her ambition, as she prepares to compete in the upcoming Para Pan Pacific Swimming Championships in California, where she looks forward to the rookies' debut.

Jones, originally from the Blue Mountains, NSW, but currently based on the Sunshine Coast, was diagnosed with a rare degenerative eye disease at the age of five. She attributes her confidence and independence to her early introduction to sports, which taught her how to trust her body and moved her to study for a diploma at university, aiming for a career in counseling.

Despite the challenges of balancing her studies and sports, Jones remains proud of her accomplishments, reflecting on her younger self breaking records in her first national championships.
