Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

This week…

The first of two shows from the 16th Paralympic Games in Tokyo.

This week’s show is focused on swimming.

We talk to two Australian gold medal winning Paralympic stars.

First onto the starting blocks, a man with nineteen Paralympic medals to his name - Kingsley Bugarin OAM.

Kingsley will be giving us an idea of what it’s like to compete at the Paralympics and telling us just how much pressure athletes are under as they head into the competition

Then we cross to Tokyo, specifically to the media centre in the Olympic village, to speak to an athlete who is preparing to compete in the pool in his fifth Paralympic games, friend of the show Matthew Levy OAM.
