Devine, who stands a mere 137cm, will represent Australia in basketball at the World Dwarf Games in East Lansing, Michigan next month.

It will be his second Games, after Northern Ireland four years ago, but his first with boccia-playing partner Alyssa Biddle, 22, also in the national team.

The Hallett Cove couple are the only South Australians to make the 32-strong squad. Australia’s basketballers lost the gold-medal game to the US in 2009.
