Alice Tai's remarkable comeback to the Paralympic podium just under three years after amputation highlights not only her resilience but also the highs and lows of her journey.
Having undergone six surgeries on three different limbs in two and a half years, Tai stated, 'I feel like I've really made myself proud and made everyone supporting me proud.'
She touched the wall in a Paralympic record of one minute 9.06 seconds, comfortably ahead of the competition, marking her first individual gold win.
Tai's victory was part of a historic day for Great Britain's swimmers, with a total of three golds being secured in a mere 36 minutes.
