Australia’s women’s wheelchair basketball team will be setting their sights on a return to the Paralympic podium after confirming their 12-player squad for next month’s Games here in Tokyo.
The Gliders medalled at Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012 before their streak came to an end when they failed to qualify for Rio 2016.
But having booked their place at Tokyo 2020 and selected their team, Australia are now focused on regaining their position among the world’s elite wheelchair nations.
