Sammi was one of only three GB athletes to win five medals at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, taking a magnificent gold in the T53 100m in a new Paralympic record and silver in the T53 400m, 800m and 1500m, as well as in the 4x100m Universal Relay. Paris was Sammi’s third Paralympic appearance, making her debut at Rio 2016 and winning bronze in the T53 100m at Tokyo 2020.
Best known for her prowess in the sprint disciplines, Sammi first competed for Team Scotland as she stepped up in distance to finish fifth in the T54 1500m at Glasgow 2014. She improved to fourth in both the T54 1500m and Marathon at Gold Coast 2018, before winning bronze in the T54 1500m at Birmingham 2022. She also has six World Championship medals, including three gold, to her name and three European titles.
She was awarded an OBE in the 2025 New Year's Honours list after receiving an MBE in 2022. She also has an active career in TV, becoming a presenter on BBC's Countryfile in 2023.
