Ministers congratulate Sanita Puspure on her assured dominance which led to long deserved gold
Minister Ross said:
Yesterday we thought that nothing could top the performances of Paul and Gary O'Donovan in the lightweight men’s double sculls at Plovdiv. But today we saw a performance of great tenacity and assurance as Sanita Puspure dominated her rivals in a brilliant single sculls final. Puspure has long deserved this gold. The celebrations in Cork will be mighty tonight and rightly so!.
Minister of State for Sport and Tourism, Brendan Griffin T.D. added congratulations, saying:
Puspure is a magnificent example of the ancient phrase; “Labor omnia vincit – perseverance conquers all. Her tenacity and dedication in face of previous disappointments makes todays victory all the more special. She is a wonderful sportswoman and an inspiration to all.
