Joshua Bell, an Australian Olympic shooter, made his debut at the 2024 Paris Olympics, competing in the Men's Skeet event. Joshua grew up in Camden and attended Good Samaritan Catholic College in my electorate. His journey into shooting began as a bonding activity with his father, which quickly turned into a passion. Joshua first gained attention in the shooting community by winning the B grade at the 2011 NSW Skeet Carnival. Despite juggling his career as a plumber, Bell has managed to maintain a high level of performance in the sport, securing his place on the Australian Olympic team after strong showings in various international competitions, including a silver at the 2023 Oceania Championships. Joshua's participation in Paris marked a significant milestone in his career, and although he didn't medal, his journey from local competitions to the world stage is a testament to his dedication and skill, congratulations Joshua!
