Bio

Amy Conroy was first noticed by the GB selectors at the junior regional championships playing for team East as a Norwich native and has gone on to represent her country at almost every major tournament since the 2010 World Championships.

She lost her left leg to osteosarcoma when she was young and when trying to adapt to her disability, she found that she liked the speed and aggression of the game.

Her first major medal came at the 2011 European Championships before she made her Paralympic debut at a home Games in London 2012, where she was the top scorer in their opening match against the Netherlands. The team eventually finished seventh place.

Four years later in Rio, she would help the team to their first Paralympic bronze medal final where they lost to the Netherlands but it was still their highest ever Paralympic placing.

Amy appreciates the importance of balancing her sport and life away from the court as a way of staying grounded, whether that be through travelling as much as she can or practicing mindfulness. After Paris, she hopes to launch a business venture with her sister alongside any part-time modelling.
