Robyn Lambird (athletics) identifies as non-binary and made their Commonwealth Games debut in Birmingham where they finished fourth in the women’s 100m T34 which was on the program for the first time.

Born in England and raised in Western Australia, Robyn wasn’t diagnosed with cerebral palsy until the age of nine when they moved to Perth with their family. Robyn can walk for short periods, but their early sporting successes came in seated events including wheelchair basketball with good friend Amber Merritt before turning to the athletics track in 2015 aged 18.

Robyn’s breakthrough came at the IPC 2018 Grand Prix in Nottwil, Switzerland, where they won silver in the 100m T34 and finished just outside the medals in the 200m. They made her debut for Australia at the 2019 World Para-Athletics Championships in Dubai where they finished 5th in the 100m T34.  Two years later, Robyn claimed the bronze medal in the 100m T34 on Para-athletics largest international stage in Tokyo, the first out non-binary Paralympian to finish on the podium. 

Robyn has a Media and Communications degree from Perth’s Curtin University and works as a digital content creator.
