Reiki-practicing cyclist Lindy Hou wins silver and bronze in Beijing Paralympics

Congratulations to Australian cyclist Lindy Hou, a massage therapist and Reiki practitioner, who just won a silver medal in the Beijing Paralympics, taking second place in the women's pursuit blind and vision-impaired class, along with her pilot, Toireasa Gallagher. Earlier, the tandem-cycling team won the bronze in the 1-kilometre time trial.

The event took place in the Laoshan Velodrome, where last month New Zealand's Hayden Roulston, also a Reiki-practicing cyclist, won silver and bronze medals in the Olympics.

Hou and Gallagher now move from the velodrome to the road events, where they hope to add at least one gold to their medal collection.
