The One with Lauren Rowles

from The LGBT Sport Podcast · host BBC Radio Cornwall

Lauren Rowles first burst onto many of our screens in 2016, when she won gold in the rowing at the Paralympics in Rio.But the journey that led her there – and the story that comes afterwards – really is extraordinary.This episode is a real gift – and we think that after hearing it, you’ll understand why. There’s so much in this - where Lauren’s love of sport comes from; her disability and how it led to her enjoying sport in a different way; the journey from wheelchair racing to rowing; becoming Paralympic champion in Rio, and what came next; mental health; accepting her own sexuality; and why being put into boxes of any kind just isn’t her thing.Oh, and we also talk a little bit about gaming as well! All in all, it might be one of the most powerful episodes we’ve ever done, and we really hope you’ll like it.
