Pagonis made her World Para Swimming debut at the 2020 World Series in Australia and succeeded in her own expectations. By winning gold in the S11 400m freestyle, the 19-year-old showed dreams can come true despite setbacks, and inspired many. Then, it was only a matter of before her potential got the recognition.
The 19-year-old Tokyo Paralympic Gold Medalist has a unique love for makeup. Noticing it, E.l.f. - a makeup and skincare cosmetic brand - has partnered with the young athlete.
In this recently shared video, she explains how she learned to do everything differently after being diagnosed with a vision impairment in collaboration with ‘e.l.f.’. Inspiring how going blind at 14 didn't stop the Paralympic Swimmer from doing what she loves, right?
