Paralympics 2024 in pictures

Day 5

Two archers have captured the attention of the world at Paris 2024 – Jodie Grinham and Tracy Otto.

Grinham competed at the Games while seven months pregnant, having not wanted to miss out as she had in Tokyo. Following a scare a couple of days prior in which she had to be admitted to hospital, Grinham returned to win gold alongside Nathan MacQueen in the mixed team compound event on day five.

Otto and the USA were knocked out in round one of that competition, but her just being at the Games was remarkable – after being paralysed in a home invasion by her ex-boyfriend, Otto took up archery during her recovery and made it all the way to the Paralympics. While in Paris, she got engaged – then revealed she had also been competing while expecting a baby, due early next year.
