The hope of a Paralympic legacy

from Not by the Playbook · host BBC World Service

As the Paralympics come to a close we hear from Japan’s Deputy Chef de Mission Miki Matheson on whether the games have been a success. Plus the hidden heroes of the Games. Jose Bernardino is one of the official Otto Bock prosthetic technicians offering support for free to athletes. Their work not only helps performance on the track but to change lives off it. Plus proving age is just a number, 60-year-old Carol Cooke picked up a silver in Tokyo to go along with the three golds she won at the last three Games.Plus, ahead of the American Football season we look at how the NFL have managed to get over 93% of the league's players fully vaccinated without mandating or forcing players to get the jab. But for those refusing to be vaccinated, will it cost them their job? We hear from Tim Elcombe, Associate Professor at the Balsillie School of International Affairs.Plus we preview the Women’s Super League as the new football season in England kicks off, and find out about the first Dutch Formula One Grand Prix for more than 35 years, and why it was very nearly cancelled.Photo: Jhoan Vargas of Team Colombia at the Wheelchair Basketball event (Getty Images)
