With the swimming in full swing at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with twins Scarlet and Eliza Humphrey who were competing in the Women’s S11 400 Metres Free Style final on Friday Night (30 August 2024). 

Sadly no medals so far for Scarlet and Eliza at their first Paralympic Games with 6 place for Scarlet (just over 23 seconds behind the leader) and 8th place for Eliza (just over 40 seconds behind the leader).

There will be more than likely Paralympic medals for the Humphrey Twins in the future as they continue on their Paralympic swimming career.
