Ellie Simmonds breaks down in tears as she announces Paralympics retirement aged 26 after being disqualified in Tokyo

“I can’t thank everyone enough for the support, my coach, my parents, my sister, family, everyone, for getting me to these Games and helping to get me to four Paralympics which is amazing.

“It makes me emotional to think that Maisie and Ellie , all those guys and girls were inspired by watching me in 2012. Now they are inspiring the next generation.” It was at London 2012, in front of a packed Aquatics Centres, where she truly cemented her position as the nation’s sweetheart with a further two golds.
