Description

What does it really take to become an elite Paralympian? To be the strongest, the fastest, the most fearless - to not just defy expectations, but shatter them entirely.


In this new podcast, Paralympic silver medallist Matt “The Armless Archer” Stutzman and Olympic legend Michael Johnson interview 8 incredible Paralympians as they prepare for this summer’s Paralympic Games. This is a chance for listeners to get to know the elite athletes going for the medals, to invest in their journeys, and to understand what it really takes to be an elite Paralympian, all whilst capturing the excitement and spirit of the Paralympic Games.
