Paris 2024 Hub

Jodie made history in Paris as she became the first British pregnant athlete to win a Paralympic gold medal.

"It really is the icing on the cake after the success in Paris and the hard work over the last nine years."

"Having the prime seat in the house to witness the excellence that was put on show for us all is one memory that I won't forget in a hurry."

The British archers to make the list include gold medal Paralympians Jodie Grinham and Nathan Macqueen, world number one compound woman Ella Gibson, and the youngest archer to compete at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Megan Havers.

We received a staggering 1,041 entries across the various categories to our Aim for Paris Virtual Challenge, which offered archers of all levels the chance to shoot alongside the best of the best during the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

"The event was a fantastic opportunity to recognise and celebrate the role and impact coaches have had not just on the Olympic and Paralympic Games, but also throughout the pathway and within the communities across all sports." 

"This is why I do sport. Being here, having the crowds, having the adrenaline and the meaning behind it. You're not just shooting for the sake of it, you're shooting for something."

"I'm happy, which is weird because I've just been knocked out, but I'm happy. I'm going to go into tomorrow with confidence."

"It's been an honour to know that the baby is there, and a reminder of the little support bubble that I've got in my belly."

“I am going to the Games pregnant, and if that doesn’t show women out there that they don’t have to choose between their career and having a family, then I don’t know what does.”
