Australian Paralympic gold medalist Paige Greco died Sunday at her Adelaide home following what authorities described as a “sudden medical episode.” She was 28.

Greco, who was born with cerebral palsy, captured Australia’s first gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games with a world record performance in the women’s C1-3 3,000-meter individual pursuit, CBS News reports. She also earned bronze medals in the road race and time trial events at the same games.

“Paige meant everything to us,” her mother, Natalie, said in a statement released through AusCycling and Paralympics Australia. “Her kindness, her determination and her warmth touched our family every single day. She brought so much joy and pride into our lives, and the pain of her passing is something we will carry forever.”
