British Paralympians have been urged to help record the forgotten history of disability sport, with the message that “knowing where we come from helps us figure out where we’re going in the future”.
ParalympicsGB announced on Tuesday the creation of a new Athlete Community, which any British Paralympic athlete from the winter and summer Games can join. As well as offering a network for former and current athletes, the governing body hopes to use the group to start piecing together a history that is shorter than that of its Olympic sibling but far less commonly documented.
