I'd like to acknowledge the sporting accomplishments of young people in my electorate, particularly recent recipients of Local Sporting Champions grants. It's even more special to recognise their achievements in an Olympic year, highlighting where their skills might one day take them. I've got full confidence we'll see some of these people participating in the Brisbane Olympics in 2032.

I congratulate the following recipients of the grant: Isabelle Cruickshank and Sarah-Anne Koot for athletics; Jeremy Chen, Fay Huo, Jerry Lin and Tiffany Teoh for badminton; Bradley Dalton, Mitchell Howay, Benjamin Jones, Lachlan Jones, Spencer Kelly, Toby Kelman, Seyeon Kim, Isobel Lambert, Jordan Lowe, Kieran Mark and Kimi Soong for baseball; Holly Mitchell for basketball; Sy Jason for outrigger canoeing; Elyssa Bolger for cricket; Lillian Cormack and Lara Manuel for diving; Jasmine Cook and Angelina Thompson for equestrian; Logan Bubb, Lachlan Dorahy, Bradley Newman, Haley Newman and Elyssa Wehrle for touch football; Dmitry Tsyplakov for ice hockey; Amelia Bisoglio for netball; Savanna Sweeney and Shay Sweeney for orienteering; Edward Selig for skiing; Bodie Denton and William Scodellaro for soccer; Sophie Burnett, Maddi Durnell, Milla Durnell and Tayla Moore for softball; and Natalie Pettitt as a softball match official.

The commitment of these local sporting champions, as well as that of their coaches and parents, really deserves our thanks, and I congratulate all of the winners.
