PARALYMPIC archery champion Jodie Grinham admits it would be “absolutely wonderful” if her trailblazing exploits help break down barriers for other women attempting to juggle demanding careers with motherhood.

Grinham fired herself into the headlines last summer by becoming the first openly pregnant Paralympic medallist thanks to individual bronze and team gold at Paris 2024.

She endured online abuse in the build-up to the Games and overcame time at a maternity ward in the French capital thinking she may be going into early labour en route to a place in the record books.
