	Louise Sauvage: History - Accessibility.com.au
		At the age of 8, Louise was introduced to wheelchair sports as a form of recreation, an opportunity for her to participate on an equal level with other kids in wheelchairs.

		Born with a spinal condition, Sauvage started her sporting career relatively late - starting with athletics at 14 and then switching to wheelchair track racing at 16.
		When people told her that she should not do that, it made her even more determined to turn her back on a less active career and study to become the successful professional athlete she is today.
		With plenty of gold medals plentiful in the bag, and Sauvage looking as if there is still more left in the tank, it is unlikely that the Paralympics have heard the last from the Australian hero.
