via BBC Sport:

English Para-swimmer Alice Tai won Commonwealth gold in Birmingham on 
Sunday - just months after having her right leg amputated in January. 
 
The 23-year-old triumphed for England in the S8 100m backstroke at 
the Sandwell Aquatics Centre.   

It was her second Commonwealth title after victory in Gold Coast four 
years ago, but, she admitted, far more unexpected.  

"I didn't think I would be able to race this season," Tai told BBC 
Sport.

"I'm so grateful that Team England let me come here and compete."
