Over the last few months during the Covid-19 pandemic, my mind has been occupied following the Olympic Games and the Paralympics. So many of the athletes in their interviews commented that they were so glad to provide great sport for us all to watch at home, especially for those in lockdown. Those participating in the Paralympics shared an extra message: Hoping they provided inspiration to those with disabilities at home to join the Paralympics community and find a sport they love to participate in.
After finishing with a bronze medal in the women's 100m T34 Paralympics final, Australia's Robyn Lambird shared this message in a post-race interview for Channel 7:
“I just want to show all the kids out there - with disabilities or not - if you have a dream, chase it ... there's always a way, and you can find that way.”
