Olivia Breen can boast medals from the Paralympic Games, Commonwealth Games, World Para Athletics Championships and European Championships.

The 25-year-old is now ready for her third Paralympic Games and will be hoping to add to the bronze she won in the women’s T35-38 4x100m relay.

She will compete in the 100m and long jump in Tokyo, the latter the event in which she won gold for Wales at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia.

Aled Sion Davies

Age: 30 | From: Cardiff | Event: men’s F63 shot put

The fact that Davies has been voted co-captain of the ParalympicsGB athletics team in Tokyo shows the status he holds within the sport.

The Cardiff athlete has won Paralympic titles in both javelin and shot put, the latter coming last time out at Rio 2016.

He has also won a remarkable seven world titles across the two events since 2013.

Davies warmed up for Tokyo in perfect fashion with a fourth consecutive European shot put title in June.
