ABOUT CAROL

Carol was a national level swimmer in Canada while she was growing up and with an unstoppable nature and a passion for sport.  She took up competitive rowing in December of 2006, made the Australian Rowing Team in 2008 and 2009 where she competed at the World Rowing Championships.

In 2011, she took up the sport of para-cycling in the trike class.

Carol was named on the Australian Team to compete in Denmark at the Para-cycling World Road Championships in 2011. She won two silver medals and in 2012 was named in the Australian Team for the London Paralympics.

At the Paralympics, Carol beat the men to win a gold medal in the mixed T1-T2 road time trial.

At the end of 2012, Carol was ranked number one in the world in the Female T2 category and in 2013 became dual World Champion, winning both the Time Trial and the Road Race.  In 2014 she backed up her World Champion status and again was ranked number one in the world.  In 2015 Carol retained her World Championship Title in the Road Time Trial and won silver in the Road Race.

In 2016 Carol was named on the Australian Paralympic team for Rio and came away with 2 gold medals in the Road Time Trial and Road Race.  In 2017 Carol once again became a dual World Champion, retaining her #1 ranking and to cap off an amazing year was awarded the top award at the Victorian Institute of Sport – The Award of Excellence.

​Although living with the never-ending symptoms of MS, Carol has the strength and courage to get up each day with a positive and motivated attitude.  She has learnt to live for today and not worry about what may or may not happen in the future.
