LGBTQ+ wheelchair tennis superstar Lucy Shuker named as Paralympics flag-bearer
Briefly

"It's an incredible honour. When I was asked to be put forward, I thought that's as good as it gets. But when I found out a couple of days ago, it's mindblowing."
"To be nominated and voted for by team-mates makes it even more important, it's humbling. We have athletes who have won gold medals, achieved far more than me, so to be selected, all I can say is thank you to them."
"It underlines just how much both athletes epitomise the Paralympic values that we as a team are so proud of."
"I don't like to publicly label my sexuality... I had fallen in love with someone [who] happens to be a woman, but I don't necessarily feel that people have to be stuck in a label."
