Para swimmer Elizabeth Marks has been making waves (literally) during the 2021 Paralympics in Tokyo.

Not bad for her first time swimming freestyle in a Paralympic final. She also competed in the 200m individual medley SM6, where she came in fourth.

This isn’t Marks’s first rodeo: she competed in the Rio Games in 2016, taking home two medals.
