Champion swimmer Maisie Summers-Newton is preparing to defend two Paralympic titles in Paris.
Champion swimmer Maisie Summers-Newton says she’s ready to "deal with the pressure" of defending her Paralympic titles in Paris.
She broke her own world record in the pool recently in a competition in Berlin, but admitted that staying ahead of the field had brought its own stresses."There’s a lot of pressure, which I put on myself," she added."But it’s because I have that passion to do well. I’m getting stronger, and I’ve got that fire in my belly."A trainee teacher, Summers-Newton said the last three years had been "exhausting", juggling international competitions with her studies.
"When I was doing my placements at university, I was getting up at 6am, getting in for 8am, then coming here to swim in the evenings and train."But I do it because I have a passion for swimming. I do it because I was that little girl that watched London 2012 and was inspired by the Paralympic movement and enjoys coming swimming every single day."Summers-Newton was appointed MBE by the Princess Royal for services to swimming in 2022.
