Jade Atkin had spent much of her sporting career with her sister Adele by her side but at Birmingham 2022 she went it alone as part of Team England’s first wheelchair basketball squad, claiming a bronze medal.
Better was to come at Glasgow 2026, though, as she helped England claim gold as part of the team which beat hosts Scotland in the final.
Atkin, alongside Amy Conroy, Joy Haizelden and Charlotte Moore, powered Team England to a place on the podium as the sport made its Games debut four years earlier.
She went on to make her Paralympic debut in 2024 as her rapid ascent continued.
