Bio
Karé Adenegan showed her star potential at the age of 14 when she claimed double bronze at the IPC Athletics World Championships in 2015.
A year later Adenegan was part of the ParalympicsGB team at Rio 2016 where she won bronze in the T34 400m and 800m and silver in the T34 100m.
At the London 2017 World Championships she won 100m silver and bronze in the 400m and 800m.
With Adenegan firmly established as a force to be reckoned with on the international scene she claimed her first major international gold medal in 2018 when she won T34 100m at the European Championships in Berlin – pipping fellow Brit Hannah Cockroft to top-spot on the podium.
In 2018 she was named as the BBC Young Sports Personality of the year.
At the 2019 World Para Athletics Championships, Adenegan claimed two silver medals behind Hannah Cockroft in the T34 100m and 800m events.
Two further silvers followed at her second Paralympic Games in Tokyo in both the T34 100m and 800m.
As a warm-up for Paris 2024, Adenegan followed her form with two more silvers in both of her events at the 2023 World Para-Athletics Championships in the French capital.
