Paris 2024: Proud Ellen Keane bows out of Paralympic stage

Ellen Keane rounded off a decorated Paralympic career with a sixth-place finish in her 100m backstroke heat at La Defense Arena.

The Tokyo gold medallist was back in action this morning after finishing fourth in last week's butterfly final.

The 29-year-old was always up against in this event, with the top eight fastest across both heats advancing to tonight’s S9 final.

Ellen Keane has swam her last ever race. The Irish great has finished sixth in her S9 100m backstroke heat in a time of 1:17.63
