Paige Greco made history by securing Australia’s first gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, where she also set a new world record in the Women’s C1–3 3000m individual pursuit.

Her family continued, “We are deeply thankful for the overwhelming support from her teammates, friends, and everyone connected to Paige. She treasured the bonds she formed through her sport, and knowing she was loved by so many brings us solace.”

Throughout her illustrious career, Greco amassed numerous World Championship titles and World Cup medals, including a bronze in the 2025 World Championship Road Race. She consistently elevated the profile of para-cycling on the global stage.

AusCycling CEO Marne Fechner said: “We are heartbroken by the tragic news of Paige’s death. Paige was an extraordinary athlete who achieved outstanding accomplishments at the highest levels of our sport. Much more than that, she touched the lives of everyone around her with her positive spirit and courageous outlook.”
Cameron Murray, CEO of Paralympics Australia, said Greco was an “extraordinary athlete” and a “remarkable person” and her death was devastating.
“We extend our deepest condolences to Paige’s loved ones and to those who were closest to her. The sadness being felt across Paralympics Australia today is a reflection of the enormous regard in which she was held.”
