Paralympian Jayne Craike: It's an honour to represent your country but getting there is difficult

Should we be spending more money on our quest for Olympic gold?

That's the question Simon Barnett and James Daniels posed to the Newstalk ZB listeners.

Three-time Paralympian Jayne Craike called up for a great chat.

New Zealand’s Paralympian number 90, Craike is not only our most successful Para equestrian rider, she’s a pioneer behind the sport in this country. She qualified for and competed at three consecutive Paralympic Games: Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004. And despite huge challenges – and heart-breaking bad luck with her horses – she performed with distinction at all three. Gold (Dressage Championship) and silver (Dressage Freestyle) medals in Sydney 2000, fifth spot in Atlanta 1996 in trying circumstances, and only just missing out on the dais in Athens 2004 with fourth place in each of her events. https://paralympics.org.nz/
