Gliders’ Redemption In Full Swing After Tokyo 2020 Announcement
Australia’s women’s wheelchair basketball side, the Gliders, are primed to make their return to Paralympic competition at Tokyo 2020, nine years after winning the silver medal at the London Paralympics.
Two players who were named, Sarah Vinci and Amber Merritt, remain from the 2012 Team and another squad member, Hannah Dodd, represented Australia in Para-equestrian at London before switching sports. The others – Mary Friday, Isabel Martin, Taishar Ovens, Ella Sabljak, Shelley Cronau, Natalie Alexander, Bree Mellberg, Jessica Cronje and Munro-Cook – are set for a hard-earned Paralympic debut.
