Sport Specific Information | |
| Why this sport? | "One of the main things that kicked it off was when I was in primary school when the Commonwealth Games were on, and we wrote letters as kids to athletes. I wrote to a pistol shooter and they never replied, so, as a kid, I thought I want to do this sport and I want to beat that person. I can't remember who it was, but I remember getting all heated up." |
