Bly Twomey: Brighton star eyes gold after Paralympic debut

Twomey said the sport had changed her life, having only taken up table tennis three years ago.

“When I first started table tennis, I wasn’t confident at all,” she said.

“I couldn’t really go places or into big crowds because I was afraid people might get rid of me because of my disability. But now I’m here, everyone has a disability.”

She added: “Brighton Table Tennis Club have done a lot for me. They’ve been an amazing part of my experience and without them I couldn’t have achieved any of this.”

Her sister Ellis said: “I feel really proud of her, she’s come so far in the short time she’s been playing.

“She’s become a lot more aware and happy of her disability. She used to be quite sad and think of herself as not as good as other people.”
