Sheila Parkinson and Dianne Zimmerman, in their first 4.5 Women’s Doubles together, won gold at the Arizona Senior Olympics. In a hard fought match, Sheila and Dianne were victorious against the No. 1 seeded team winning in three sets to send them to the loser’s bracket. In the gold medal matchup, Sheila and Dianne again faced the No. 1 seed and dominated the first game. They then came from down 6-9 in the second game to win a thrilling 12-10 overtime game completing the upset and securing the gold medal.
