Paralympic champions at the Tokyo Paralympics
Fanni Illés
Paralympic, world and European champion para swimmer
To her father’s surprise and delight, Fanni was not the only one who qualified for the Beijing
Paralympics in 2008. She was only 16 years old at the time, and was the youngest member of the Hungarian Paralympic Team travelling to China. Later, Fanni also made it to the
Paralympics in London and Rio, and having a quota spot, she could also prepare for the
Paralympics in Tokyo. Her portfolio of successes is further embellished with her world and
European championship gold medals.
