Game Changers: Meet Lauritta Onye, the Nigerian Para Athletics Star💫

Growing up, Lauritta Onye always dreamed of being an actress. Sport had never been a priority; it was the big screen that beckoned.

However, the Nigerian star of the ‘Nollywood’ film industry, who acts under the screen name Laury White, proved that it’s not just on the stage that she excels. Lauritta became one of the big names of Para athletics and is looking forward to competing at Paris 2024.

The International Paralympic Committee's vision is to make for an inclusive world through Para sport. Our mission is to lead the Paralympic Movement, oversee the delivery of the Paralympic Games and support members to enable Para athletes to achieve sporting excellence.
