Here’s a throwback to a special video we shared last year as we celebrated 25 years of wheelchair rugby at the Paralympic Games.

“Without these people here tonight, I wouldn’t be the man I am now.”

The film reunited members of the original Great Britain team, alongside friends, family and supporters, to reflect on the incredible journey since its debut at Atlanta in 1996 as a demonstration sport then at Sydney in 2000. Their stories are a powerful reminder of the impact wheelchair rugby has had on so many lives.
