Taylor
Gosens

Taylor Gosens is a woman who’s paving her own path.

A path that started in Sydney at the 2000 Paralympic Games as a four-year-old – watching her father Gerrard compete.

Gerrard has represented Australia in multiple sports for over 30 years, competed at three Paralympic Games and well over a dozen world championships.

But for Taylor, it’s time to step out of the shadows and make her own mark in sport.

She born with Gerrard’s congenital eyesight condition and has just four per cent vision.

The athlete and coach deciding to start competing in the sport of Para-judo.

Taylor was originally training in Brazilian Jui Jitsu and disliked Judo but she gave it another go and loved it.

In September, Taylor recorded her first international win against Great Britain – making it into the top 8 at IBSA Judo Grand Prix Baku.

In ten years’ time, she hopes to still be involved in the sport and coaching other young Judo hopefuls.
