Elena Semechin: 'I didn't know if I could be repaired'
Elena Semechin heads to Paris 2024 knowing her life is vastly different from when she last plunged into a Paralympic pool. After Tokyo, Elena was diagnosed with a brain tumour. After an operation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the 30-year old German visually impaired Para-swimmer is ready to help motivate others in the pursuit of their goals.
Semechin was talking to BBC Sport's Nick Hope.
