Swimmer Cameron Leslie won gold in the 150m IM in record time at the Beijing Paralympics yesterday to secure New Zealand’s 12th medal.

The 18-year-old from Whangarei, who is studying communications in Auckland, said he was not expecting to be so dominant and attributed his medal to hard work at training.

“Bloody awesome. I wasn’t expecting that at all. I don’t really remember much of it. I’m very surprised.”
