Bio

Having been involved in the sport since age 13 and internationally for over 20 years, Terry Bywater continues to build upon the talent and dedication which saw him make his debut at the 2000 Paralympic Games in Sydney, aged just 17.

Terry – who then earned the honour of representing ParalympicsGB at the following four Games, winning three bronze medals – has amassed a phenomenal wealth of experience and success, competing at 20 major championships helping Great Britain claim 14 senior international medals in that period.

Quickly earning a place in the GB U23 Team, Terry won silver with the senior team at the 2002 World Championships and has since travelled the world both representing his nation and European clubs.

Renowned for his all-round shooting game and his trick shots on social media, Bywater has won four European titles, his most recent coming in 2019, and in 2018 he was part of the team who secured the World Championship title in Hamburg, Germany, making him the only member of the squad to have won both a silver and gold World Championships medal.
