JudoScotland is proud to celebrate the achievements of Lois Goldie, who has been shortlisted for the Scottish Women in Sport (SW/S) Young Sportswoman of the Year Award.
The SW/S Awards recognise not only the success of female athletes across Scotland, but also the contributions of volunteers, coaches, pioneers, and others who make a lasting impact on women in sport.
At just 14 years old, Lois has already emerged as one of Scotland’s most promising young athletes. Competing at the under-15 level, she has earned selection to represent her country on the international stage, delivering outstanding performances that mark her as a rising star in Scottish sport.
Lois Goldie delivered an exceptional season in judo, claiming titles as a Scottish Champion, British Champion, Commonwealth Judo Championship Gold Medalist, Luxembourg International Gold Medalist, and Lithuania Alytus Open Bronze Medalist.
Each result showcases her ability to compete and succeed at the highest level, both domestically and internationally, while proudly representing Scotland against some of Europe’s strongest young athletes.
Beyond her personal achievements, Lois is a natural role model within her judo and wrestling clubs. She regularly supports younger athletes, helping them develop their skills and confidence. Her kindness, leadership, and encouragement have created a positive and inclusive environment, and she is widely admired by her peers and coaches alike.
Inspired by Scottish Commonwealth medalists Connie Ramsay and Rachel Tytler, Lois is forging her own path on the international stage. Born in 2011, she exemplifies the qualities of a junior athlete who has achieved excellence, represented her country with distinction, and continues to inspire those around her.
We wish Lois the very best at the SW/S Awards and look forward to seeing her continued success in the years ahead. The Scottish Women in Sport Awards will take place on Friday 21st November 2025 at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow.
