Paralympic gold medallist Paige Greco has died aged 28, her mother has announced.
The Australian won gold in Tokyo's 2020 Paralympic Games in the women’s C1–3 3,000m individual pursuit.
She also won two bronze medals in time trial events, and had also won gold at the World Championships and World Cups.
Born in Melbourne, Greco had cerebral palsy, and won a medal as recently as August at the Para-Cycling Road World Championship in Belgium.
AusCycling announced Greco's death with a statement from her mother Natalie.
"Paige meant everything to us," she said.
"Her kindness, her dedication and her warmth touched our family every single day.
"She brought so much joy and pride into our lives, and the pain of her passing is something we’ll carry forever.
"While we are devastated by her loss, we are incredibly proud of the person she was and how she represented Australia.
"As a family, we are deeply grateful for the support shown by so many people connected to Paige, including her teammates and friends.
"Paige cherished the connections she made through her sport, and we take comfort in knowing how widely she was loved."
Chief executive of Paralympics Australia Cameron Murray also paid tribute.
"Paige was an extraordinary athlete, but more importantly, a remarkable person.
"As a Paralympian, Paige represented Australia with a level of commitment and composure that earned the admiration of everyone who had the privilege to watch her compete or to work alongside her.
"Her achievements on the international stage were exceptional.
"But it was her kindness, her quiet determination and the way she uplifted people around her that will stay with us all."
