Name: Nicole Turner
Event: Swimming - S6
Age: 19
Nicole Turner is competing in her second Games having been the flag bearer for Team Ireland at Rio's closing ceremony.
From Portarlington in Co Offaly, Turner will be hoping to build on her European Championship form from earlier in the year where she won two silver and two bronze medals at Madeira. She also tasted success when Dublin hosted the Europeans in 2018, taking a silver in the 50m butterfly.
But her career highlight has to be the bronze she won at the 2019 World Para Championships in London.
She was born with hypochondroplasia.
