Stephanie Inglis

Stephanie Inglis (born 3 November 1988) is a Scottish judoka. She competed for Scotland in the women's 57 kg event at the 2014 Commonwealth Games where she won a silver medal. On 10 May 2016, whilst on a sabbatical teaching English as a second language in Ha Long, Vietnam, whilst riding as a pillion passenger on a motorbike taxi, Inglis's skirt got caught in the wheel, pulling her off the motorcycle. Her sister Stacey later told the BBC News Victoria Derbyshire programme that Inglis was in a coma and "in a very critical state." The family were told that Inglis did not have the correct travel insurance to cover the cost of her medical treatment in Vietnam. As a result, an online fundraising page was created on the GoFundMe fundraising website to help pay for her treatment. By the end of July it had raised more than £320k. Having resultantly been moved to a hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, on 6 June 2016, Inglis awakened three weeks after being placed in a medically induced coma, after opening her left eye and grabbing her father's hand in response for the first time since waking up. On 13 June 2016, Inglis arrived home in Scotland having been flown via air ambulance to continue her recovery. She was able to speak within a few days and to give an interview some weeks later. She hopes to return to judo for the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
