Hull Paralympic judo champion Chris Skelley has said competing in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris "means the world" to him.

Mr Skelley, 31, came away with a gold at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo.

He said he now hoped to "replicate" this achievement in Paris, with the Games taking place from 28 August to 8 September.

Mr Skelley, who is partially-sighted, will compete in the J2 +90kg category.

He told the BBC: "It means the world to me to be able to represent Paralympics GB and British Judo, it's a huge honour.

"It's been so incredible to call myself a Paralympic champion. To go and try to replicate this in Paris is something I thrive on, I love the challenge."

Mr Skelley said it was "amazing" to just qualify for a Paralympic games, but said he wanted to be a "two-weight Paralympic champion".

He also competed in the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, narrowly missing out on a bronze medal.
