Swimmer Onds'>Ellie SimmOnds and Archerjohn Stubbs will be Flag Bearers for the british team in tomorrows Ony'>Opening CeremOny. This will be a fourth games in a row for the five time paralympic champiOn simmOnds. There is, like, literally no words to describe it. For me, this is my fourth paralympics, and ive never actually been to an Ony'>Opening CeremOny. So to go to an Ony'>Opening CeremOny, but also have that privilege of carrying the flag with john is just so exciting. Privilege of carrying the flag with John Isjust so exciting. And like penny said, i got called to have a meeting with her, and i thought it wAs just a meeting with her, and i thought it wAsjust a general meeting with her, and i thought it wAs just a general meeting. Meeting with her, and i thought it wAsjust a general meeting. But meeting with her, and i thought it wAs just a general meeting. But when she announced that me and john were both like bears i think we were both like bears i think we were both in awe, like, we didnt know how to respOnd Flag Bearers. So were carrying the flags for the athletes, the support staff, the staff, people cheering us On from home and being there for us all the way. So this flag carrying in the Ony'>Opening CeremOny is for everyOne. But its deftly been a challenging year, and have four mOnths of not being able to swim. Luckily enough, like cyclists can go out On-the-road'>On The Road for a run, but swimmers havent had that normal envirOnment, so weve all had to adapt. But it also makes you strOnger because we are here today at the paralympics, and weve had a challenging year, weve had four mOnths out of water, but we are here and ready to compete. So it grows us mentally strOnger, and it shows that we can do anything. Illjust, like, grAsp every moment and not let it go. What ive learned from the pAst is that the paralympics just go As fAst in a switch, really youre there and holding camp, which goes superfAst, youre here, the Paralympic Games and they go.

It wAs a tough One-call'>PhOne Call two years ago, to say, you know, she hadnt quite made it and Asked her to be vice captain.
