Just two weeks after New Zealand produced its most successful Olympics campaign to date, the country's Paralympic team gets set in Tokyo.

New Zealand have a team of 29 Para athletes across six sports as they look to improve on the impressive 21 medals won at the last Paralympics in Rio.

Veteran para-shooter Michael Johnson eyes another spot on the Paralympic podium, representing New Zealand in his fifth Paralympic Games.

Meanwhile, 20-year-old Danielle Atchinson will compete in her first, after almost calling it quits just a few years ago before discovering her potential in para-athletics.
