katherine proudfoot


A chance encounter in a Newcastle gym has seen Katherine Proudfoot go from a gym enthusiast to an international athlete and world record holder in less than 18 months.


It’s been a meteoric rise. “A couple of years ago I didn’t know much about Paralympic sport at all,” says Katherine,
who now competes in athletics sprint and throws events under cerebral palsy classifi cations.

Katherine trains twice a day, six days a week- about 3 to 4 hours of training each day. In the morning she runs and does weights and in the evening works on throw technique and/or a gym class.

She says “I do hydrotherapy once a week and work on my other skills my cerebral palsy makes hard, like hand skills for cutting with knives.”Katherine competed in shot put and discus at the paralympic games and won a silver medal in discus. She also won a silver medal in shot put and 2 bronze medals in discus and the 100 metre event at the International Paralympic Committee World Athletics championships in 2006. In 2006 she also came 5th in the 100m when she competed 2 disability classes above her classification at the Commonwealth games in Melbourne.

For Katherine, competing is all about challenge and friendships.

We are proud to say that Katherine is just another Shining Star at The Spastic Centre.
