In Touch - The 50th Winter Paralympic Games
Download The 50th Winter Paralympic Games
In Touch reflects in the Milano Cortina Winter Paralympic Games. Although the GB team did not return home flush with medals, ParalympicsGB are taking these games as a win in terms of some stand-out performances and future stars. In Touch digs into the visually impaired team's overall performance, how the sighted guiding works when plummeting down a mountain at speeds of 100mph and above and the experiences of the debutant athletes. Guests include six-time medal winning alpine skier Menna Fitzpatrick, debutants Hester Poole and Fred Warburton, ParalympicsGB Chef de Mission Phil Smith and BBC commentator and reporter Ed Harry.
