Missing selection to the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games fuelled Smith’s fighting spirit and she surged to success in 2019. “Some things like that make you a better athlete and a better person,” she said.
In a breakthrough year, Smith won gold at the 2019 Lahti World Cup and in doing so secured Australia a quota spot for Tokyo. In the same year she won Trap Team Mixed bronze at the World Championships with shooting partner Thomas Grice.
In 2020, Smith achieved an Australian selection trial clean-sweep when she won all four nomination events including the Commonwealth and National titles, defeating Rio gold medallist Catherine Skinner and Rio Olympian Laetisha Scanlan to top the leader board.
