I love swimming and I love Ellie Simmonds because she's such a good swimmer! She was the youngest ever British swimmer to compete in the Paralympic Games, aged 13 – and she even won a medal. She went on to win eight Olympic medals, and five of them were gold! Ellie Simmonds has a medical condition called achondroplasia, which affects your height and the length of your arms and legs. Ellie is inspiring because she shows that it doesn't matter what size you are – everyone can achieve great things if they work hard.

My favourite sport is tennis, and the Williams sisters were amazing tennis players. They started playing when they were four and became professional by the age of 14. They often played matches against each other. Serena has won more tournaments than Venus. She won 23 women's singles titles in Grand Slam tournaments (the four major tennis tournaments worldwide), which is an amazing achievement! Serena and Venus Williams have been role models for many young players. Venus once said 'Just believe in yourself. Even if you don't, just pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.' I love that!

If you're a football fan like me, you're sure to know Lionel Messi! Some people say it's Ronaldo, but for me Messi is the greatest of all time! I like him because of his amazing skills – dribbling, passing and, of course, scoring goals! I was so happy when he led Argentina to victory in the 2022 World Cup final. Messi is inspiring for young people. He's a good friend to his teammates and he said it's more important 'to be a good person than the best player in the world'.

When it comes to sports, my favourite and biggest inspirational sports person is Alisa Liu. You might've heard of her somewhere, cause she is the role model for many kids out there, including me. What I like most about her is the way she reshapes societal norms - those that had kept many great and talented people inside their comfort zones. She shows me that only with passion and discipline can you achieve something great. As an ice skater, she won a gold medal at the age of 16, shocking the history of America. Shockingly, she decided to resign when she was at her prime, and then later on shocks the media completely with her youthful and creative comeback.
