The 18-year-old produced a sensational leap of 5.06m to secure silver in the final round - just just three centimetres behind Team Wales Olivia Breen's gold winning jump of 5.09m in the first round at the Scotstoun Stadium on July 31.

Another Aussie, 15-year-old Ayla Kowalczyk, won bronze.

Sharp made her international debut at the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships in the T38 200m and 400m. 

 

One of her standout performances came at the ACT Championships, where she rewrote the record books by breaking the 10year Australian long jump record with an outstanding 4.64m jump. 

Sharp’s love for athletics doesn’t just come down to one thing; for her, it’s the ‘thrill of competing, travelling, getting ready and standing at the start line pre-race or more recently as well, the runway pre jump’, that makes her love the sport. 

She described running as ‘an out of body experience, really surreal’ and that she ‘constantly chases that feeling’. 

“I love the sport so much that no matter what I continue to push through. It’s a part of me.”
