Amy Alsop is a Canadian Paralympian from Saskatoon. She is a two-time Paralympic gold medalist for goalball.[1]

Early life

Alsop was born with only 10 per cent of her vision and used Canadian National Institute for the Blind services to gain independence.[2] While learning to swim, Alsop met the coach of the local goalball team who encouraged her to join the sport.[3]

Career

Alsop joined the Canadian National goalball team in 1997.[4] She competed in the 2000 Summer Paralympics where she won a gold medal in Goalball.[5]

Alsop was again selected to compete with Team Canada at the 2004 Summer Paralympics,[6] where she won another gold medal by only allowing in 1.5 goals on 419 shots. As a result, she was nominated by Saskatchewan Blind Sports for the 2004 Athlete of the Month Award.[7]

After retiring, she was hired at SaskTel in Regina as a service development manager.[2] In 2013, she was appointed community co-chair of the Citizen Consultation Team by the Government of Saskatchewan.[8]
