Pushing herself to her limits: NL swimmer Katarina Roxon makes Team Canada for this year's Paralympic Games in Paris
Katarina Roxon says she's not done yet. The Paralympic gold-medal-winning swimmer from Kippens will compete in the Paralympic Games one more time, in Paris from August 28 to September 8. It's her fifth time on the National Team for the Games, a record for the most Paralympic appearances by a Canadian female athlete.
Roxon was just 15 years old when she headed to Beijing for her first Games. She's now 31 and says her competitive spirit is alive and well. The CBC's Jeremy Eaton caught up with Katarina Roxon at the Paralympic swimming trials in Toronto over the weekend.
