A day in the life of Milly Tapper | Australian Olympic Committee

Milly Tapper was born with brachial plexus palsy, but has spent most of her long table tennis career competing against able-bodied female and male athletes alike. She made history in 2016 as the first athlete to represent Australia in both the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

After finishing fourth at the London 2012 Paralympics, she became the first Paralympian to qualify for the Australian able-bodied Commonwealth Games Team at Glasgow 2014, where she helped Australia pick up bronze in the Team event.

Two years later she made history again when she represented Australia in both the singles and doubles competition at the Rio 2016 Olympics, and at the Rio 2016 Paralympics.

Based in Melbourne, Victoria, the 29-year-old is now eyeing off a second Olympic Games at Tokyo 2020.

She recently took over the @AUSOlympicTeam Instagram story to show followers a day in her strict training regime in Melbourne.
