6. Yvonne Grant/Anna Morrison is F40, which means that she competes against those of a similar height to herself, and willing to push herself further she has competed in able bodied events where has acquitted herself very well. e Tokyo Paralympian has competed in several events around the world since rst representing Ireland when joining Paralympic Ireland’s High Performance squad in 2019. at wonderful e ort put her at No. 4 in e World Rankings and if she maintains the progression shown over the past few years, she should de nitely feature as a contender in the French Captial for both the upcoming Worlds and next years Paralympics.

She has constantly improved and continues to strive to improve, and another personal highlight for Mary came in 2021 when she set a new PB of 8.12 metres in Templmore in e Shot Putt competition Munster Irish Wheelchair Association.

Mary is a wonderful ambassador who has done both herself and everyone connected to her very proud indeed, and she is a perfect role model to the Paralympic Community particularly for her ability and adversity in overcoming the challenges that she has faced.

She was a popular Grand Marshal at last years St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Kilkenny, and it was so ttingly appropriate that she was recogized for her e orts on the International Stage along with the way that she is an inspiration to Para-Athletes who have high aspirations.

Team Ireland have had so much success in Paralympics events in World Championships and Paralympics Games over the years with Jason Smyth and Michael McKillop leading the way with a mutitude of honours.

With e increasing amount of Para-Athletes competing and continuing to ourish on the international stage, the sky is the limit for Mary Fitzgerald to achieve greater things in her biggest year to date in her career.
