Sabbey's interest in athletics was sparked by watching her brother compete. She started representing her school and soon joined her local club, Deeside AAC in Wales. "I started playing sport because we travelled around the UK with my brother and I thought, 'Why does he get to throw and I don't?'" she recalls.

Coaching and Training

Under the guidance of coaches Ian Robinson and Ryan Spencer-Jones, Sabbey has honed her skills since 2012. Her dedication to the sport is evident in her achievements, including winning back-to-back world titles in the F20 shot put in 2019 and 2023.

Challenges and Triumphs

Despite her success, Sabbey faced challenges at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo, finishing fifth due to the heat and humidity. "It has been hell since Tokyo to get back," she admits. However, she overcame these difficulties to win gold at the 2023 World Championships in Paris.

Philosophy and Influence

Sabbey's philosophy is simple yet profound: "You learn from the ups and downs. Every wall that gets put in front of you, you either go around or you climb it." Her brother has been a significant influence on her career, inspiring her to take up athletics.

Awards and Recognition

Her talent has not gone unnoticed. In 2012, she was named Flintshire Athlete of the Year and Wrexham Athletics Female Para Sport Personality of the Year in Wales. These accolades are a testament to her hard work and dedication.

Future Ambitions

Looking ahead, Sabbey aims to compete at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. Beyond sports, she aspires to work in art. "I do animation and art on Blender 3D software, and I've learnt coding for website design," she says. She dreams of a career in animation, creating TV shows, movies, or game designs.

Memorable Moments

Winning world titles in 2019 and 2023 stands out as some of Sabbey's most memorable moments. These victories highlight her resilience and ability to perform under pressure.

Adapting to Conditions

Sabbey has had to adapt to various conditions throughout her career. She struggled with the heat in Tokyo but found ways to cope during the 2023 World Championships. "Even though it has been hot out here, I have an ice towel and an ice vest [so I have] been able to cool down," she explains.

Sabbey's journey is a testament to perseverance and passion. Her story continues to inspire many aspiring athletes around the world.
