Ella Sabljak became one of the first Australian women (along with Shae Graham annd Emilie Miller) to win a Paralympic medal in wheelchair rugby, when the Steelers claimed bronze.
HER WAY chatted to Ella direct from the Athletes Village in Paris just a couple of days after the medal win.
For Ella, it’s been a meteoric rise in the sport, having only taken it up in 2022 after a long and successful career in wheelchair basketball. We chat about adapting to a new sport, the future for women in wheelchair rugby, and being thrust into the bronze medal game at a crucial moment.
