Sydney, March 2021: Magnetite Australia is proud to continue its support of Rio Paralympian and Gold Medallist Katie Kelly OAM as she prepares to qualify for the Tokyo 2021 Paralympics in the sport of Triathlon (vision impaired class).

With the Paralympic Games postponed last year for 12 months, this provided a few challenges for Katie including funding another year to make the Tokyo team, as well as extending herself for another year of training. Katie has now been advised of the final races she can compete to secure her qualification, starting with the Yokohama Paratriathlon Series race on 15 May. She is currently ranked 12th and needs to be in the top 10 to secure her spot on the start line at the Tokyo Paralympics.

Magnetite is proud to support Katie, who also founded Sport Access Foundation, a registered charity providing grants for children with a disability to play sport. Katie is a Director and spends much of her time working on the Foundation outside of her training commitments. 

You can get behind Katie and her quest to qualify for Tokyo by donating also direct to her campaign (all donations over $2 are tax-deductible) or follow her on social via links on her website – www.katiekelly.com.au
