Description

The motto of the London Olympics in 2012 was “Inspire a Generation”. For one eleven-year-old from Coventry whose disability meant she’d never been allowed to play sport at school, this slogan became a reality. Just four years later, Karé Adenegan would win three medals in the 2016 Rio Paralympics. In Tokyo, she added two more. Now 23, the softly spoken wheelchair racer is bidding for a medal in her third successive games. Ahead of her final preparations for Paris 2024, Marcus Jones asks if she can sum up her remarkable journey in one word. “Mind-blowing,” she says simply. In this interview you'll hear more about Kare's faith, including the one prayer she always recites on the startline.
