PARA swimmer Tully Kearney has been commended for speaking out over her concerns about the process which led to her being reclassified last year.
The BBC has reported that Kearney, who won S5 100 metres freestyle gold at the Tokyo Games in 2021, has raised a formal complaint over how she felt she was treated during the classification process administered by World Para Swimming (WPS).
Kearney described the process which led to her being reclassified as “inappropriate, insulting and at times humiliating”.
