This year we not only had the excitement of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, we found out that Brisbane will be the host city in 2032.

It's a great opportunity to boost the profile of parasport of all kinds and at all levels, and to get new sporting facilities with the very best accessibility built in.

In this episode we talk about preparations for the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games, and some of the opportunities and challenges along the way.

We'll hear from Paralympians Bridie Keen and Ella Sabiljak, head coach of the Australian Paralympic swimming team Brendan Burkett, and Dr Iain Dutia, a parasport classifier and researcher specialising in athletes with high support needs.
