In this episode, we sit down with Karé Adenegan, a seven time British Paralympic medallist.
Karé is wheelchair racer specialising in T34 sprint events. She burst onto the international scene at just 14, making her debut at the 2015 World Championships in Doha, where she secured two bronze medals.
The following year, at the Rio Paralympics, she earned a silver medal in the T34 100m and bronze medals in both the 400m and 800m events - before even having collected her GCSE results!
In 2018, Karé set a world record in the T34 100m with a time of 16.80 seconds at the Müller Anniversary Games in London, becoming one of the few T34 athletes to complete the 100 metres in under 17 seconds. Her remarkable achievements that year led to her being honored with the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year award.
Beyond her athletic prowess, Karé is deeply committed to her Christian faith, which she explores in her podcast, “Sporting for His Glory”, in which she discusses how one’s relationship to God shapes their lives and careers.
During our conversation, Karé reflects on her journey from being inspired by the London 2012 Paralympics to competing alongside her idols, the challenges and triumphs of her career, and how her faith has been a cornerstone in her life both on and off the track.
Join us as we delve into the life and experiences of Karé Adenegan, exploring the intersection of elite sports and personal faith, and gain insights into what drives her to excel while maintaining humility and grace.
