John Davies

Precision Sports

John Davies is a New Zealand Paralympian who competed in lawn bowls, the precision sport in which players roll weighted, biased bowls towards a small target ball and try to finish closest to it. At the 1988 Summer Paralympics he won a bronze medal in the pairs LB2 event, the classification category under which that event was contested. Paralympics New Zealand and the International Paralympic Committee both keep athlete profile pages for him, which is where his Paralympic record is documented. The source available for this entry is short and states no birth year or other biographical detail, so this description records only his nationality, his sport and his 1988 Paralympic bronze medal rather than guessing at the rest of his career.
