Isle of Wight swimmer Zac Lacey is celebrating bronze in the T21 200m individual medley at this week's European TriGames 2021.
He won third place for the United Kingdom - and for the Island!
Last weekend, Zac, who is a member of the Down Syndrome Swimming GB team, made an urgent appeal for help to get to the games in Ferrara, Italy.
His passport was stuck at a delivery office, just hours before he was due to board the plane.

FedEx pulled out the stops to arrange a special Sunday delivery, which meant he could fly from Heathrow with his teammates.
It was worth the journey and there could be more to come from Zac.
After Zac's 200m success, dad Neil said: "Absolutely chuffed too bits and still two days to go."
