Rapley, who has played the sport for around 60 years, has represented both Australia and New Zealand in other Deaf competitions. This has included three World Deaf Games and two Trans-Tasman Games with New Zealand and an Asia Pacific Deaf Games for Australia. A highlight of her international career was winning a silver medal in the women’s singles for Australia in a table tennis test match against New Zealand

On the Australian Deaf Games, Rapley says she is looking forward to “good competition and meeting old friends.”
