It's been a little over a month since the Paris 2024 Paralympics ended. How does that expereience resonate with our TKFLASTANIs once real life has settled back in? Wheelchair basketball gold medalist Brian Bell and para shot put gold medalist Noelle Malkamaki return to tell us how the Games were for them and what's next (or not) in their lives.

Follow Brian and Noelle on Insta!

We also have some news from other TKFLASTANIs, including:

• Sled hockey player Monica Quimby -- learn more about her post-Hurricane Milton GoFundMe here.
• Wheelchair racer Daniel Romanchuk
• Listener Lorry
• Rugby sevens player Perry Baker
• Swimmer John Naber
• Rower Kristi Wagner
