ATHLETE BIO
‘Seasoned campaigner’ would be an understatement when describing the brilliance of Vanessa Low. Competing in her first Paralympics at London 2012, Low is heading to the Paris T61 Long Jump ready to turn two career Paralympic gold medals into three.
After being hit by a train when she was fifteen, Low was told by experts that she’d never walk again. Two years on from the accident, Vanessa was learning to walk again with prostheses and ready to prove the doubters wrong.
The rest is history.
And don’t be surprised if Low smashes her own world record in Paris.
