The 19-year-old finished with a time of 36.30 seconds beating USA’s Elizabeth Marks. China’s Jiang Yuyan won the gold with a world record.
“To be honest it hasn’t sunk in at all,” said Turner after winning the first Paralympic medal in her career.
“I always thought it would be a fight for bronze. I think I was shaking before the race even started,” she added.
Turner is a native of Portarlington, Co Laois.
