The 2004 Summer Olympics featured a demonstration of the men"s 1500m wheelchair and the women"s 800m wheelchair, in which Diane finished fourth in.
Her best two finishes at the 2002 world championships were both 8th-place finishes, in the 400m and in the marathon. She has been nicknamed "The Warhorse."
She also participated in the 2004 Summer Paralympics, taking a bronze medal in both the 400 metre and 1500 metre races. At the 2008 Summer Paralympics Roy was initially awarded the gold medal in the women"s 5000 m T54.
However a re-run of the race was ordered by the International Paralympic Committee following protests by the Australian, United States and Swiss teams after 6 competitors were involved in a crash on the penultimate lap.
The re-run race resulted in the same three athletes winning medals but in a different order, with Roy this time winning silver. In 2009, she was made an inductee into the Terry Fox Hall of Fame.
