Lisa Martin Wagner

Started: She took up Para athletics in May 2022 at the MuWiS Sportvielfalt Bad Oeynhausen club in Germany. (Instagram profile, 22 Jun 2023) Reason: She previously played American football but had to give up the sport due to her impairment. When she tried Para athletics, she found that the strength she had built up playing American football made her well suited to shot put. "In May 2022 I participated in a trial at MuWiS Sportvielfalt Bad Oeynhausen and tried out the different disciplines of Para athletics. [German Para athlete] Sebastian Dietz was in charge of the shot put station, and that is where I found my next sporting path."
