Angela Ballard
Under the watchful eye of her coach, Australian sporting legend Louise Sauvage, Angie Ballard is in the midst of intense preparation for her third Paralympics this August in Beijing. With a program that will include the T53 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m wheelchair athletic events, Athens Paralympics 100m bronze medalist Ballard is looking to go for gold at her third attempt. Taking up the sport at age twelve, when the NSW Wheelchair Sports Association sponsored a chair, Angie soon excelled on the track, participating in junior events nationwide before, at just 16 years of age, sensationally forming part of the 4x 100m and 4x 400m relay team which won gold at the 1998 World Championships in Birmingham. Within the year, that team, consisting of Angie, Christie Dawes, Holly Ladmoe and Louise Sauvage also claimed both event world records.
Angie was named the ACTAS athlete of the year in the disabled category in 1999, and was a scholarship holder at the AIS, living in Canberra for three years.
Angie made her Paralympic debut at the age of 17 in Sydney, agonizingly placing fourth in both the 100m and 800m, as well as highly creditable 5th and 6th placings in the 400m and 200m events respectively. Angie took a break from the sport in 2001 to concentrate on her year 12 studies, a move that paid off as she moved to Sydney in 2002 to enroll in a Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Sydney. Having been awarded a Sydney University Sport Scholarship and working with new coach Andrew Dawes, Angie inspirationally won the 2002 T53 100m World Championship title, having successfully balanced study, work and life in a new city.
At the Athens Paralympics in 2004 Angie again contested the 100m, 200m, 400m and 800m events, erasing the pain of her near misses in Sydney with a bronze medal in the 100m event. Since Athens Angie has consistently ranked in the top 6 at both World Championship and Commonwealth Games events, and is a strong medal chance for Beijing. Now enjoying her second degree at the University of Sydney, this time in psychology, Angie continues to represent the Uni and Australia with great distinction.
Competing in the 2008 Summer Paralympics (6-17th September).
