Jemima Moore (born 18 March 1992)[1] is a Paralympian athlete from Australia competing mainly in category T53-54 4 x 100 metres relay events. She was born in Geelong, Victoria. [1] At the age of six, she collapsed due to a rare spinal virus and this affected her lower back and caused her long term incomplete paraplegia. [1]
She competed in the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, China. There she won a silver medal in the women's T53-54 4 x 100 metres relay event. She also competed in the individual 100m for T54 athletes but finished third in her heat and failed to progress to the final. [1]
