Bowls Alberta is thrilled to report that the 2024 Para Bowls Championship has successfully concluded! The event saw incredible competition and showcased the remarkable talent and spirit within our lawn bowling community. Here’s a rundown of the medal winners:
Medal Winners
B6 Category:
- Gold: Jack Smart
- Silver: Bruno Yizek
B7 Category:
- Gold: Anne Hibbard
Both Jack Smart and Anne Hibbard have their sights set on Nationals, where they aim to continue their winning streak. Unfortunately, Bruno Yizek has opted out of Nationals, but his silver medal performance remains a testament to his skill and dedication.
A Sigh of Relief for the Bowlers
This year, we spared everyone the long journey to Commonwealth Lawn Bowling Club in Edmonton. The local venue at Stanley Park Lawn Bowling Club in Calgary was a welcome change, especially for Jack and Anne, who can now redirect their saved travel expenses towards their Nationals preparation.
Looking Ahead
The 2024 Para Bowls Championship was a resounding success, thanks to the dedication and enthusiasm of all participants and organisers. We look forward to supporting Jack and Anne at Nationals and continuing to foster a spirit of inclusivity and excellence in our lawn bowling community.
