1992 Australian Paralympic Team athlete Louise Sauvage after a race at the Barcelona 1992 Paralympic Games, her first. Her racing chair shows the advances made since the first Games, with cambered rear wheels, small push rims, a mechanism for locking the steering in the corners, feet in a sling under the custom fitted seat and a single, larger front wheel mounted on a rail frame in advance of the pushing wheels.
