Breakfast Meeting with Paralympian Liesl Tesch

Peter Clarke • July 21, 2021

Zoom Breakfast meeting 21 Jul 21

We had a wonderful zoom meeting this morning with our fantastic local member of Parliament Liesl Tesch MP. Liesl is the Member for Gosford and is currently in her second term in the New South Wales Parliament. Liesl is also the President of the Parliamentary Lions Club and the Parliamentary Friends of Paralympics and Olympics.

Before entering politics, Liesl was a Paralympic champion and competed at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, 2004 Athens Olympics, 2008 Beijing Olympics, 2012 London Olympics and 2016 Rio Olympics winning two gold medals for Australia in sailing, two silver medals and a bronze medal for basketball.

This morning Liesl shared her personal stories from competition, training and logistics and the tremendous challenges, rewards and honour of being an Australian Paralympic athlete. Liesl also talked about the particular challenge that the Tokyo Olympics presents for all athletes and support crew accompanying the team. We were encouraged to reach out to our athletes and support them online. We will do this both as a club and as individuals!
