Bio
Tokyo 2020 will be Bailey’s second Paralympic Games, having made her Paralympic debut at Rio 2016, two years after joining the Shooting Para sport squad. A talented hockey player growing up in Cirencester, she was introduced to pistol shooting as part of her rehabilitation at Stoke Mandeville hospital.
Bailey – the sole representative in pistol shooting in the ParalympicsGB squad - secured a quota spot for the team after finishing ninth in qualifying at the 2019 World Championships in Sydney. The 26-year-old will compete in the women’s 10m air pistol SH1 and mixed 25m pistol SH1 at this year’s Games.
