Jamieson Leeson is the reigning Boccia world champion in the BC3 pairs event.

While the 21-year old only took up Boccia six years ago, she started her career off with a bang. Winning a gold medal at her first competition - Australia’s New South Wales State Titles.

Since then she’s gone from strength to strength including winning the individual silver medal at the 2022 Boccia World Championships, and gold alongside her teammate Daniel Michel.

Now she’s looking to become the first Australian to take home a Paralympic gold medal in Boccia.

This chat proves that if you have a love for sport, determination will take you a long way no matter where you’re from. We hope you enjoy it and it gets you ready to cheer on Jamieson in the BC3 in just a few days time on August 30.
