Paddock to Paris

Aislin Jones: Skeet Shooting (Lakes Entrance, VIC)

Listen Later

You may not have heard of Aislin Jones before but I challenge you not to impressed by this woman’s integrity, maturity and goal setting ability!


  1. Aislin will be competing in the Olympic Skeet Clay Target Shooting Event and then ever-so-casually will also take herself off to run a her first ever Marathon a matter of days later.
  2. As a child Aislin was one of those children picking up the broken clay targets at the local gun club on the weekend – as soon as she hit the legal shooting age of 12 – she was into it. That year she met her current coach – and mapped out an 8 year plan with the Tokyo Olympics as the goal. Talk about impressive life goals!
  3. Paris is her second Olympics - but she’s incredibly level headed about the whole journey reiterating that she constantly reminds herself that life is not this sport – and that she hopes to be in the game for many more Olympics to come.
