With the Paris Paralympic Games just around the corner here on RNIB Connect Radio we are catching up with some of the Paralympics GB visually impaired athletes who will be competing out in Paris with the hope of winning some medals too.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was joined by Tokyo 2020 Paralympics GB Judo Gold medal champion Chris Skelley MBE to find out how he and the rest of the Paralympics GB visually impaired Judo athletes are feeling with the games just around the corner. 

Due to changes within Para Judo in Paris Chris will be competing in the J2+90kg category along with fellow Paralympics GB VI Judo athletes Daniel Powell in the J1 -90kg category and making his Paralympics debut in Paris Evan Molloy in the J2 -90kg category.

Chris also talks about how Judo had turned his life around and the benefits of sport for anyone who is visually impaired.
