Susan Davies (Paralympian)
Susan Davies is an Australian Paralympic archery medalist. She attended Brisbane Girls Grammar School.[1] In 1970, a car accident left her a paraplegic.[2] Five years after the accident, she took up archery as part of her physiotherapy.[2] She explained that " it was mainly to help me get balance in a wheelchair. When you sever your spinal cord you have no sensation of where you are sitting or if you are sitting for a start".[2] She practised in her Mount Gravatt back garden and at the Belmont Range in Brisbane. In 1984, she worked part-time as an accountant for the University of Queensland.[2] She competed at the 1980 Arnhem Games and came 6th in the Women's Double FITA Round Paralplegic.[3] At the 1984 Stoke Mandeville Games, she won a bronze medal in the Women's Double FITA Round Paraplegic.[3] References
