In the final episode from Paris, Emma is given privileged access to the athletes' village - and gets a tour of the Ottobock compound - the place where competitors can bring damaged disability equipment for repair.
From welding a wheelchair frame that got cracked in a rugby tackle to stitching the webbing that holds an athlete securely in their chair - the repair shop staff keep the show on the road.
Also in this episode - Paris-based wheelchair user and disability activist Deza Nguembock tells Emma what life's like for disabled people living in France - and whether hosting the Paralympics is likely to be a catalyst for change.
