Florence Gravellier at the Paralympics in China

Sat. 12th/Sun. 13th I am very happy to report that Flo won the Bronze medal in both singles and doubles!!!

Just thought I'd share with you something really cool. Today mom sent me the link to blog of Florence Gravellier, a distant cousin I actually never met. She is currently competing in the paralympics in China. Several members of her immediate family are there to support her, especially my great uncle Paulo and his wife Odile (Wayne and Susan, you've met them at my sister's wedding). I thought it was just awesome!
She won today against the Romanian 6/0, 6/0.

I just saw she won today against the British Lucy Shuker 2-6 6-1 6-4 and is going to the quarter final. She will play the No3 in the world Sharon Walraven, from the Netherland... tough one to beat for sure!
