Melissa “Milly” Tapper became the first Australian Paralympic table tennis athlete to qualify for an able-bodied national team when she was selected to represent Australia at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, and in 2016, Melissa made history again when she became the first Australian to compete at a Paralympic and Olympic Games in the same year.

Millyʼs most memorable sporting moment came in 2018, when she became the first Australian to win a Commonwealth Games gold medal in table tennis.
