About Sara Head

Sara Head is a Welsh Paralympic table tennis player. Head has represented Wales at two Commonwealth Games and was selected for the 2012 Paralympic Games, where she took the bronze medal in the women's team class 1–3 event with team-mate Jane Campbell. Although Head did not medal in Manchester by 2004 she had won the Hungarian Open and two years later she again represented Wales at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Head and Campbell took another gold medal in the women's team class 3 event at the 2011 European Championships in Croatia and the following year the two won silver at the China Open. Although missing out on the final, it set up a bronze medal decider with Alena Kanova of Slovakia, and despite taking the first game, Head lost 3–1 to finish just outside the medal table in fourth. The British team won the deciding doubles set to win the match 3–2 and take them into the semi-finals.
