Wilson was not initially selected for the delayed 2020 Summer Paralympics; instead, she was the team's reserve.[9] On 12 August 2021, she was called up to the British Paralympic equestrian team, replacing Sophie Christiansen whose horse was injured.[2][12] It was her first Paralympic Games,[9] and the first major championship event for Sakura.[11] At the Games, Wilson won bronze medals in the individual championship test grade II[2][13] and individual freestyle test grade II events.[14] At one point in the individual championship event, Wilson was winning the event,[9] and her individual championship medal was the first for a Welsh person at the Games.[15] Her individual test score of 72.765 was only just behind Austria's Pepo Puch, who finished second in the event.[16]
