Bebe Jackson (born 3 December 2005) is an English Paralympic athlete who competes in T44 sprinting events at international track and field competitions.
Early life
[edit]Jackson was born with clubfoot. She had been cared for by Mick and Pauline Davis, both foster carers, in whom she called "Nanna and Grandad".[1]
Career
[edit]Jackson competed in the 2023 Commonwealth Youth Games and won the silver medal in the Discus F42-44/F61-64, becoming the first English female para-athlete to win a medal at the Games.[2]
Making her international debut, Jackson competed in the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships held in New Delhi, where she won the bronze medal in the 100m T44 event, finishing behind teammate Victoria Levitt and Annie Carey of the United States.[3][4] She also finished third in the 200m T44 event, finishing behind Levitt and Carey but was not awarded the bronze medal because the race had only three competitors.[5][6]
