Penny Greely
In 1994, Penny Greely lost her leg in a horrific train accident. Penny was determined not to let the accident hold her back and instead threw herself into sports. Originally, she played wheelchair volleyball but soon she got into curling. Penny considers herself very fortunate to play a sport she loves and to be able to travel around the world meeting amazing people. She said, “I’m very blessed. Just meeting people from different countries, especially in curling, the camaraderie between teammates and different countries and bringing us all together, to me is so amazing.” Penny and team have secured a spot at the 2018 Paralympic Winter Games, and they are sure to perform well. Penny is also a standout as she is a woman on the curling team and the majority of her fellow teammates are men, including Steve Ent and Kirk Black.
