Ali Smith, a 35-year-old sprinter from Cheshire, is one of Paralympics GB's top medal hopes for Paris 2024.

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.
