Bowls career
[edit | edit source]In 2022 after being capped as an under-25 Scottish International, Riva was chosen by Team Scotland's Achieve programme to travel to the 2022 Commonwealth Games as part of the Team Scotland experience.[5]
Riva teamed up with Jason Banks to win the 2025 World Indoor Bowls Championship mixed pairs title.[1] In the first round the pair defeated Robert Paxton and Lucy Smith in straight sets before winning their semi-final match against Les Gillett and Nicole Rogers again in straight sets.[6][7] Riva and Banks then won the final against tournament favourites Paul Foster and Katherine Rednall without dropping a set. Riva was studying law at Edinburgh Napier University at the time.[1] She was also runner-up in the ladies' singles, defeating Chelsea Spencer in the semifinals,[8] before losing the final to Julie Forrest.[9][10]
