Laura Thompson and Philippa  Gray won New Zealand first track cycling in the womens individual B pursuit. The two girls worked so hard that they got a bronze and gold. They still got a chance to stand up tall on the podium. Thompson and Gray celebrate their medals. The disabilities with those two girls is vision impaired meaning everything they see may be a tiny bit blurry.
