Libby Kosmala

Precision Sports

Libby Kosmala, born Elizabeth Dudley Richards, is an Australian sport shooter who competes with paraplegia. She was born on 8 July 1942 and went on to represent Australia at twelve Paralympic Games between 1972 and 2016, a span of more than four decades. Across those Games she won thirteen Paralympic medals, nine of them gold. Her long career in shooting is part of the history of the Paralympic Games as a multi-sport event for athletes with disabilities, and her record shows how many editions of the Games a single athlete can reach when she keeps competing at the top level of her sport.
