PARALYMPIC medallist Stephen Clegg will once again go for gold after being confirmed in ParalympicsGB’s squad for Paris.

The squad was announced last Monday to coincide with 100 days to this summer’s Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.

The first sport to confirm names for Paris for ParalympicsGB features 15 Games debutants and 11 returning Paralympians – including Clegg, who is competing for a third time.

At the last event in Tokyo, 28-year-old Clegg, who began his career with East Lothian Swim Team (ELST), took silver in the 100m butterfly before clinching bronze in both the 100m backstroke and 100m freestyle.

Penny Briscoe, ParalympicsGB chef de mission, said: “I’m delighted that today, with exactly 100 days to go to this summer’s Paralympic Games, we can celebrate the first athletes to join the ParalympicsGB team for Paris 2024 – our swimming squad.

“Our 26 swimmers represent an exciting mix of youth and experience, and there’s no doubt they all have fantastic potential to make Great Britain proud in Paris this summer.

“I’m really excited to see the ParalympicsGB team start to take shape and look forward to welcoming athletes from all corners of the UK, across 19 sports in total, in the coming weeks and months.”

A total of about 230 athletes from 19 sports are expected to make up the British team that will compete in Paris, with further names to be announced by ParalympicsGB in the next few weeks.
