On this episode of Para Sport Nation Paralympian Trinity Lowthian recounts how a love of niche sports led her to wheelchair fencing and a record-breaking result for Canada at the 2024 Paris Paralympics. She reflects on a quiet but rewarding competitive season, including a bronze medal at the Brazil World Cup and a top 10 finish at the 2025 World Championships in South Korea.
Trinity explains the challenges of training as the only athlete in her classification in Canada, the excitement of fencing inside Paris’s Grand Palais, and the methodical approach that connects her athletic, academic, and coaching pursuits.
She also talks about balancing graduate studies in sport management at the University of Ottawa with elite competition, her coaching role at the Ottawa Fencing Club, and how teaching others sharpens her own skills. From juggling as a pre-match ritual to her dream of fencing outdoors on a Scottish cliffside, Trinity offers a candid look at life as a world-class para-athlete.
Plus, towards the end of the program, Nathan stirs things up with a hot question: custom sport jerseys—yay or nay?
