Forces Paralympians Prepare For Rio

In just over a week's time, the GB Paralympic team will take part in the Rio games, including 11 team members with military connectons.
 
In the first of a three part interview, Forces TV's Jon Knighton spoke to Martin Colclough, the head of sports recovery at Help for Heroes, about the prospects for our military Paralympians (see above).
 
The charity is supporting eight athletes, after it formed a partnership with the British Paralympic Association - ‘Front Line to Start Line’ - to introduce military personnel and veterans to Paralympic sport.
