    Dame Sophie Pascoe's riding solo at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games

    Dame Sophie Pascoe's riding solo at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games


    The 29-year-old has been selected in a 12 strong New Zealand swimming team, and she's competing in just one event - the 100 metres freestyle S9.

    It'll be Pascoe's first event without long time coach Roly Crichton , after parting ways earlier this month.

    But she's confident she can handle it.



    Also included in the New Zealand squad is Lewis Clareburt, Erika Fairweather and Tupou Neiufi .
