Natasha Baker (Grade 3) has been selected for her fourth Games and her second with Keystone Dawn Chorus. As a new partnership in Tokyo, they won team gold, individual silver and freestyle silver, adding to the five golds that Natasha previously won at London 2012 and Rio 2016.
Baker, who is contesting her first Games as mother to one-year-old son Joshua, said: “I’m ecstatic to be part of the ParalympicsGB team heading to Paris. A lot has happened since Tokyo – not least the arrival of Joshua – and returning for what will be my fourth Paralympics Games, now as a mother, makes me incredibly proud. To be at the top of my sport again is such an incredible feeling, especially with him as my number one supporter. I’m so grateful to my team for enabling me to go through such an amazing journey over the last couple of years and supporting me more than ever before. I’m really excited for the new challenge and to see what Lottie [Keystone Dawn Chorus] and I can achieve in Paris.”
