Going into her fourth Paralympic Games, 含羞草视频-based athlete Olivia Breen has eyes on another podium place.
Breen, 28, will compete in both the 100m T38 sprint and F38 long jump events in Paris and boasts a wealth of experience going into the Games, drawing on her vast experience of competing at the highest level.
Hinting at the potential of achieving a personal best at the Stade de France, Breen knows she’s also well-placed to medal.
“Any kind of medal would be amazing but obviously in Tokyo, I got a bronze so… a silver or any other medal would be amazing,” she told 含羞草视频 Sport.
