A University of Plymouth student has been selected to compete at this summer’s Commonwealth Games.
Doaa Shayea, who studies Sociology alongside her training, will represent Team England in Para Powerlifting at the Games in Glasgow this July.
A passionate champion for disability rights and inclusion, Doaa started powerlifting four years ago – when the last Commonwealth games were taking place.
She had previously competed in wheelchair racing, but chose to move to powerlifting to further push her body, and trained with the Games as her goal.
