Bio
Jodie Grinham returns to the Paralympic archery team for the first time since Rio 2016, where she won a silver medal alongside John Stubbs in the Mixed Team Compound event.
When she took up archery, Jodie worked with her dad to develop a way to shoot that allowed her to grip the bow. The Crawley-based archer, originally born in Haverford West in Wales, has a condition called Brachysyndactyly. She has a shortened left arm, underdeveloped left shoulder, no fingers and half a thumb on her left hand.
At the 2024 European Para Cup Jodie took the individual compound women’s open title as well as the doubles compound open silver medal with Phoebe Paterson Pine. She and Phoebe also won the compound open doubles bronze medal at the European Para Championships.
She was a law school student before focusing on being an elite athlete and away from archery, Jodie likes a challenge whether it be completing Rubix cubes, long walks or scrap book collections.
