Jessica Long Secures 17th Paralympic Gold in 400m Freestyle

The 32-year-old swimmer wins the same event she first triumphed in 20 years ago, marking her 30th Paralympic medal.

Jessica Long won the Women's 400m Freestyle S8 at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
This victory comes 20 years after her first gold in the same event at the Athens 2004 Paralympics.
Long's career tally now stands at 17 golds, 8 silvers, and 5 bronze medals.
She narrowly edged out Great Britain's Alice Tai in the final stretch of the race.
Long plans to continue competing until the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympics.
