Anna Grimaldi (Long Jump)

from WOMENZSPORTS presents Alice's Soapbox

WOMENZSPORTS is hyped to share our kōrero with long jumper Anna Grimaldi!! Sports journalist and rugby player Alice Soper sits down with Anna to chat about breaking out of societal expectations, reaching success early on as a Paralympian, and winning two gold medals (and heading back to defend her title at the 2024 Paris Paralympics). Anna talks about being a one-handed athlete in a two-handed world, and using her talents to compete in the long jump and 100m/200m sprints. Anna also shares her thoughts on the categorisation of disabilities, and finding a community of para-athletes who share a piece of her lived experience.Follow us on social @womenzsportsWant to get in touch? https://www.womenzsports.com/aboutDon't forget to rate & review this podcast wherever you're listening!Music by Alex_MakeMusic “Calming In The Sun” from Pixabay Hosted on Acast.
