Ellen Keane may be paring down her extra-curricular activities as Paris 2024 looms larger but the Paralympic gold medallist remains wedded to the task of using her voice and her profile to highlight issues close to her heart.

The Dubliner built on her 100m SB8 breaststroke success at the Tokyo Games in 2022 by publishing her book ‘Perfectly Imperfect’, hosting ‘The D Word’ podcast on the experiences of people with disabilities and competing on ‘Dancing With the Stars’.
