Ali Smith, a 35-year-old sprinter from Cheshire, is one of Paralympics GB's top medal hopes for Paris 2024. Despite living with Multiple Sclerosis, a condition that has challenged her journey, Smith has already earned silver medals at both the Paralympic and World levels. She will compete in the T38 400 metres and universal relay in Paris, determined to perform her best. However, she remains focused on not being solely defined by her medals, emphasizing the importance of resilience and perseverance in her athletic career. Credit: Getty Images.
