Holly Warn first tried out for the Australian Paralympic team when she was just 12 years old, now this youngster is at her first games for real, getting ready to take to the pool with a swag of medals already around her neck from 2024 competition.

On the other end of the scale Danni Di Toro has been a Paralympian since the Atlanta Games in 1996, first as a tennis player and now in table tennis. She has Paralympic medals of the silver and bronze variety, could she add gold to the tally in 2024?

From being a minor at the biggest athletic party of the year to almost hitting your 50th birthday, we find out what it's like to be at your first games and how the veterans feel too as our athletes dial in from Paris.
