Full Episode description

Ahead of the para events at Tokyo 2020 (in 2021), we investigate the history of the Paralympic Games. Our special Paralympian guest is two-time swimming medalist Peter Hill. Long before it became a Paralympic sport, Peter was also involved in the early development of murderball (yes, that’s a real sport), and he’s dabbled in many more para-sports.

How are some questions for after you listen to today’s episode:

  1. What’s my favourite Paralympic sport?
  2. What does the Greek word “para” mean?
  3. What was the name of the UK hospital which used sports to try to help injured people after World War II?
  4. And what was the name of the Jewish-German doctor who ran the program at that hospital?
  5. What happened on 29 July 1948, the same day as the London 1948 Olympic Games began?
  6. When did the first Winter Paralympic Games happen?
