'I won Paralympic gold - but people wanted to know just one thing' - Team GB's Hannah Cockcroft

ok.co.uk:

The countdown to the 2024 Paralympic Games is on, with the 12-day event due to kick off on 28 August in Paris. Coverage of the Games will be airing on Channel 4 across the 12 days, with some special one-off programmes thrown in.

Among the shows airing is documentary Equal Play, featuring Team GB Paralympian Hannah Cockroft. Equal Play, which lands on Channel 4 on 26 August, will see Hannah investigate how school students with disabilities can find themselves isolated and excluded due to the lack of opportunities to take part in sports and physical education.

Hannah, 32, is a wheelchair racer, who has won five gold medals at the Paralympics in the past. She suffered two cardiac arrests after birth, which left her with permanent damage in some areas of her brain, resulting in weak hips, deformed feet and legs and mobility problems and affecting the fine motor skills in her hands.

Hannah bagged herself two gold medals at London 2012 before picking up three more golds at Rio 2016. Despite her immense success at London 2012 - which marked her Paralympics debut - Hannah has previously revealed the special moment was overshadowed by cruel comments.
