Ms. Cole was born in the outer Melbourne suburb of Frankston and had her leg amputated due to cancer when she was three years old.   

In her three previous Paralympic Games Ellie Cole has won an astonishing 15 medals.

That achievement alone would satisfy most people, but she admits to sometimes finding all the attention generated by the success, hard to deal with.
