The Paralympics are about to start and there's thousands of incredible athletes heading to Paris in France.

ParalympicsGB has 215 para-athletes in its team, including some impressive young stars.

Here's the team's youngest athletes.

Iona Winnifrith

Iona has already been making waves in the world para swimming scene, winning Great Britain two gold medals at the World Para Swimming Championships earlier this year.

At the championships she also bagged herself a British and European record for her swimming.

The 13-year-old is hoping for a gold medal at the Paralympics this year, and said her goal in the future is to break the world record.

Bly Twomey

Bly is a 14-year-old para-table tennis champion. She won two gold medals earlier this year at the Lignano Para Table Tennis Open.

She then travelled more than 6,000 miles to Singapore, where she made it into the semi-final of the Singapore Smash, which is a popular table tennis tournament. She was beaten by the world number one - who is 23 years older than her.

Bly is ranked fifth in the world in her para-table tennis class.

Maddie Down

Maddie Down will be heading to Paris just after getting her GCSE results. She competes in long jump and the 100m.

She watched the London Paralympic Games when she was only four years old in 2012. She was inspired to train and eventually compete for ParalympicsGB!

Maddie also appeared on the CBBC show Dengineers when she was younger.

Ellie Challis

At 17 years old, Ellie is one of the youngest para-athletes swimming for ParalympicsGB. She's coming in strong to Paris after winning five medals at the World Championships in Manchester last year.

At the last Paralympic Games in Tokyo, she became Great Britain's youngest Paralympic medallist.
