How a Facebook ad could take Mattias to Paralympics
He approached Lock, athletics and bicycle stalls in a hall in Sydney Olympic Park, but the chance to make the next paralympic team was said to be thin, given that the sport was never tried. He felt faint.
On the way out, he was approached by the Australian money archery team Ricci Cheah’s head coach.
After only four months of training, Lock won two of the matches at the 2025 National Money Archery Championship. Currently, it is to make the Australian team for La Paralympics and Brisbane.
Lock is one of the 346 possible Olympic and Paralympic athletes, which was initiated in September and designed to support the chance of success in Australia’s home Olympics in 2032 in Brisbane.
AIS Director Matti Clements said that the research, which is possible due to the cooperation of states and the cooperation of various sports bodies, was done for a better experience for athletes with a higher chance of finding a suitable sport for them.
“Some of the criticisms of talent identity programs not only in Australia, but also in the international arena, in the past, are not a positive experience for the majority of those who deal with it. And we wanted to make sure that this is largely different, so that these individuals need to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place to have a place. High performance programs.

“High performance sports are not for everyone, but the sport must be for everyone.”
For Lock, who had never thought about Para Archery, he never found sports even if he had no talent search.
“I think every time I spoke, he put a great scary smile on my face,” he said. “Don’t care to be good for Australian sports, it is good for individual people because I know that sports can help many people.”
He watched 212 people for the Olympic and 134 for paralympic sports, NSW led the states in the total number of athletes chosen by Amelie Proser-Shaw, who did not even know that the flag football existed 10 months ago. In 2028, he may represent Australia in sports in the Olympics.

Sydney’s 18 -year -old Prosser Shaw was on Hawthorn’s AFLW system and was on the road to make his first exit, but after the NFL flag was defined by Australia and AIS, he changed his focus to Olympic and now a member of NSW and national flag football teams.
“Afl took me to where I am today, but he said something I always want to do to chase an Olympic dream,” he said. “And now it is surprising to be able to do it with an incredible support personnel around me and my family supports me and to grow as a person and a person in flag football and sports.
“This is my ultimate dream and that’s why I continue and I work hard for it because the place I want to be. I want to win gold for my country in the Olympic phase.”
