Margaret Maughan, Medal-Winning Wheelchair Athlete, Dies at 91

Ms. Maughan, who died on May 20 at 91, was Britain’s first gold medalist, winning in archery in the world’s first Paralympic Games, held in Rome in 1960. (She won a second gold in Rome, in swimming, in an event in which she had no competition.) Over the years she won a total of six medals at the Games, four gold and two silver. And well into her later years she remained a fervent promoter of Paralympics, believing that sports are a valuable aid in rehabilitation.
