Emilie
Miller

Emilie Miller is a natural athlete.

She had already been competing nationally in swimming until one day, at training, she slipped off the diving block.

The accident left her with a quadriplegic spinal injury at the age of 12. But her sporting spirit remained.

She returned to swimming post-injury using hand cycling as cross-training.

Emilie’s passion led her to not only be chosen for the Australian Para-cycling Team, but to go on to win gold medals at the UCI Para-cycling Road World Championships in 2018 and 2019 and now be a part of the reigning world championship wheelchair rugby team.

She is clasified as 0.5 player, and won her first world championship gold medal at the 2022 IWRF World Championship in Vejle, Denmark, when Australia defeated the United States.
