SYDNEY: Australian Paralympics gold medal-winning cyclist Paige Greco has died aged 28 after a &#8220;sudden medical episode&#8221;, her family said Monday.
Greco smashed her own world record in storming to victory in the women&#8217;s C1-C3 class 3,000m individual pursuit at the Tokyo Games in 2021.
She went on to add bronze in the C1–3 road race and time trial, cementing her status as a top competitor across both track and road.
Greco died on Sunday at her Adelaide home.
&#8220;While we are devastated by her loss, we are incredibly proud of the person she was and the way she represented Australia,&#8221; her mother Natalie Greco said in a statement released through AusCycling.
&#8220;Paige cherished the connections she made through her sport, and we take comfort in knowing how widely she was loved.&#8221;
Greco also claimed multiple world championship titles, most recently earning bronze in the 2025 world championship road race at Belgium in August.
&#8220;Paige was an extraordinary athlete who achieved outstanding accomplishments at the highest levels of our sport,&#8221; said AusCycling chief executive Marne Fechner.
&#8220;Much more than that, she touched the lives of everyone around her with her positive spirit and courageous outlook.&#8221;
