The Paralympian is back in the pool on Tuesday to compete for a place in the final of the S3 100m freestyle event.

Ahead of her heats, Mr Challis said: “This is a free shot now, the thing she came over for – she’s done, so anything else is a bonus.

“Coming to the Paralympics is quite an achievement in itself – she is in such a great place.”

He said he has not been able to see his daughter much while the Games have been taking place.

“I gave her a big cuddle and saw her for about half an hour before she got back on the bus to the village,” he said.

“She’s just made up, it’s been eight years of training, moving to Manchester to get her specialist training.

“Normally I’m as calm as anything, she doesn’t get nervous.

“She does everything with a smile on her face.”
