Liesl Tesch speaks to Ettalong students

Students from Ettalong Public School were treated to an inspirational talk from Olympic gold medallist and Peninsula resident Liesl Tesch.

Tesch talked to students about the bike accident that left her a paraplegic and how she vowed that her disability would not stop her from living her life to the fullest.

This year, at the Rio Olympic Games, Tesch will represent Australia for the seventh time.

Tesch first represented the country in wheelchair basketball in 1992 but made the switch to sailing in 2011, and won a gold medal for it in 2012's London Paralympic Games.
