Truesdale already has an impressive medal tally and is best known for her World Championship wins in 2014 and 2017.
The Chester-born athlete was initially encouraged to take up the martial art by her father for self-defence alongside her sister, Chloe.

With Taekwondo having joined the Paralympic movement in 2015, Truesdale’s primary aim has been to make history at the multi-sport event.
