Welsh Paralympian and Old Barrow Hillian Olivia Breen has an inspiring message for anyone wanting to take up sport, after she fulfilled her lifelong dream of winning a medal at the Paralympic games.
It is her first individual medal although she also competed at the London Paralympics and won a bronze medal in the 4 x 100m relay. In Tokyo, Olivia broke a Paralympic record, and set a new personal best, on her way to a bronze medal in the T38 long jump on Tuesday.
She said:
Sport is incredible. Sport can change your life as it’s done for me. Find your passion and keep going – don’t ever give up. It can be a journey and there can be lows but with moments like this it’s totally worth it.”
