Ellie Challis hoping home comforts propel her to gold at World Para Swimming Championships
Swimming sensation Ellie Challis hopes familiar surroundings can spur her onto gold as she prepares for a whole host of firsts at her second Paralympic Games. Challis was Great Britain's youngest Paralympic medallist in Tokyo two years ago when she clinched silver in the women's S3 50m backstroke and has gone from strength to strength since, winning world gold in Madeira last year as well as bringing home a further four silvers from Atlantic archipelago. Ad Challis will look to defend that title and more in Manchester next month before turning her attention to the Paris 2024 Paralympics.
