Just four days until the start of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, which we will be producing with Channel 4! To start our coverage, ‘Meet the Paralympians with… Sarah Storey’ airs today at 3:55pm on C4. Great Britain’s greatest ever Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey met some of her fellow team-mates to discuss their preparation, motivation and inspiration for Paris. Sarah has shared training sessions with Paralympic legends like wheelchair athlete Hannah Cockroft OBE, PLY, DL, table tennis player Will Bayley, and boccia star David Smith, as well as the less experienced track cyclist Jaco van Gass and swimmer Suzanna Hext. They all have high hopes for gold, just like Sarah herself, creating an anticipation and feeling that Paris will be a Games to remember. 3:55pm, Channel 4 #MakeItHappen #Paralympics #SummerOfContent
