Australian Paralympian Paige Greco died at home in Adelaide after a sudden medical episode, leaving her family and the cycling community mourning the 28-year-old who was held in high esteem for far more than her significant sporting achievements.
A C3 Paracyclist, Greco won multiple world titles and took a gold and two bronze medals at the Tokyo Olympic Games. At the recent 2025 World Championships, she took bronze in the road race.
"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," said Cameron Murray, Chief Executive Officer of Paralympics Australia in a statement.
"We are heartbroken by the tragic news of Paige’s death," said AusCycling Chief Executive Officer, Marne Fechner. "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.
"Our thoughts and condolences are with Paige’s family, friends, teammates, coaches and support staff, past and present, during this incredibly sad and difficult time."
"While we are devastated by her loss, we are incredibly proud of the person she was and the way she represented Australia," said her mother Natalie Greco in a statement released by AusCycling.
