Tokyo Games offer a powerful message but it is vital that the IPC and disability sport reach out to inspire global change
We’re all still in quarantine over here in Tokyo, which means we can go between our hotel and the venues and that’s it. So one of my highlights this week was when the organisers laid on a boat, a Covid-secure boat, to show us the sights.
It was great to get out and about and it happened that our journey took us past the Paralympic village. When we were coming close I got on the phone and called up Gaz Choudhry, who came out with some of the wheelchair basketball team and gave us a wave. We did a bit of filming and it was good fun, it was just one of those moments when you have a connection with someone and that’s been a bit harder to find at these Games.
