Clegg goes from gold to cheerleader

Following retirement, the 33-yearold from Stockport will be in Paris but as a passionate supporter of brother Stephen, who became the first para swimmer in his class to break 28 seconds in the men's 50m backstroke last year.

Clegg's middle sibling James, who won bronze in the pool at London 2012, will also head to the British Swimming Championships in April with the hope of punching his ticket to the French capital.

The double Paralympic champion and Dancing on Ice star always knew Tokyo 2020 would be her last time on the Paralympic track - winning silver in the mixed 4x100m relay - and instead is embracing her new status on the sidelines.
