Cockroft has also won seven Paralympic gold medals in her career and has joined Britain's first ever Winter Paralympic champion Kelly Gallagher and multiple world champion in triathlon David Ellis as debutants on the Commission.

Tokyo 2020 canoe gold medallist Charlotte Henshaw and two-time Paralympic champion Lora Fachie have also been re-elected for a second and final term.

The new posts are set to begin in the new year and will see Rio de Janeiro 2016 gold medal-winning rower Grace Clough, powerlifter Ali Jawad, and snowsport's Sean Rose are all standing down from the panel after completing a four-year term.

"I'd like to thank all the athletes who put themselves forward for election and to those who took the time to vote.

"It is an exciting time to be a part of the Commission, advising the BPA on new social impact projects as well as doing all we can to help make ParalympicsGB is the best prepared team at the Paralympic Games.

"I'm delighted to see such a talented and passionate group of athletes come together in our Athletes' Commission and look forward to welcoming the new members as we look ahead to Paris 2024, Milano Cortina 2026 and beyond."

The Athletes' Commission, established in 2013, is made up of 12 current or retired Paralympians, chaired by Beijing 2008 rowing gold medallist Helene Raynsford.

It acts as an advisory group to the BPA, representing the views of athletes across a range of issues, from classification to campaigns and kit.

"The Athletes' Commission plays a vital role at the BPA, advising on numerous issues as well as providing an important platform for athletes to have a voice.

"My thanks go to Ali, Sean and Grace for their invaluable contribution over the last four years, and welcome to new and returning members who I know will work tirelessly to support ParalympicsGB in the coming years."
