Claire Morrison [national], GBR

2012 for Great Britain, in Wigan, Great Britain (southernallstarsboccia.co.uk, 01 Aug 2012)

She began to pursue boccia at about age 15. (southernallstarsboccia.co.uk, 01 Aug 2012)

Her brother encouraged her to try the sport. "I had been a competitive swimmer for many years and swam in a couple of international competitions, but my legs had started to deteriorate rapidly. I was looking to get involved in a sport where I didn't need to use my legs and this is why I have found boccia suits me. At first, I could barely throw the ball past the 'V' line. I initially started as a ramp player until I was classified at nationals. Slowly over time I learnt to use my body to help my arm to throw and I really got into and enjoyed being a thrower. It just went from there." (suffolkfreepress.co.uk, 18 Aug 2016; southernallstarsboccia.co.uk, 01 Aug 2012; activityalliance.org.uk, 17 Jul 2018)
