In this episode, multi Paralympic medalist Claire Cashmore calls on film makers and actors to think, and do more, to help fight the prejudice against those with a disability. It follows the latest 'Witches' movie depicting a witch with three fingers, a change from the original Roald Dahl text. Claire says it's a massive step backwards and recalls her experiences as a child of being called 'Captain Hook'. After the postponement of the Games to 2021, Claire is back on track for Tokyo for what will be her 5th Paralympics, but has switched sports from swimming to triathlon despite winning gold in 2016. She talks about the challenges the first lockdown brought her - including the squiggly worms! - but her determination to succeed again next summer shines through. This is Back On Track from Anything but Footy. The podcast series where we speak to Team GB and Para GB athletes preparing for Tokyo 2020 in 2021. Hosted on Acast.
