Published On: 3 June 2022

WAIS scholarship holder Kristina Krstic has been selected as part of a 18-member strong Lawn Bowls team for the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

The 28-year-old is the sole West Australian representative on the team. She has been playing lawn bowls since she was nine and has made more than 70 international appearances for Australia.

Commonwealth Games Australia Team Chef de Mission Petria Thomas OAM said the diligence the Australian Jackaroos have displayed in the preparation for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games was impressive.

“Their selection to the Australian Team is a testament to and a result of their hard work and commitment to their sport… it is an exciting mix of defending gold medal champions, returning alumni and debutants.

“The preparation for the lawn bowls team has come down to replicating almost the exact green conditions they will be playing on at Leamington Spa, giving our Jackaroos the best chance to be bold, brave and brilliant in Birmingham.”
