Classification

SH1

Lambert’s passion for shooting Para sport took off when she competed at the LimbPower Games in 2010, although she was no stranger to the sport, having participated as a cadet in her youth.

She immediately took to the sport and lined up in her first competition in 2011. The 48-year-old won her first individual gold medal in Dubai later that year - and hasn’t looked back.

The Portsmouth-based shooter finished an impressive fifth in the women’s 50m Rifle 3 Positions SH1 at Rio 2016 – her first ever Paralympic Games – and since then has claimed World Cup silver in Dubai in 2017, a sixth-place finish at the 2018 World Championships and bronze at the Osijek World Cup in 2019.

Lambert earned a place on the squad for Tokyo 2020 but did not progress to the finals in either the Women’s R8 or Mixed R9 50m rifle events.
