The family taking rivalry to a new level in Tokyo


Listen Later

Boccia is not just a sport, but a family affair for the McCowan family.

Brothers, Scott and Jamie, who both have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, play Boccia for ParaGB while their parents, Gary and Linda, are their ramp assistants.

It's created quite the competition between the brothers - especially during lockdown when they turned their living room into a Boccia court so they could continue training.

But what's it like to live with your biggest rival? How often do they argue over match results? And what happens when husband and wife are pitted against each other in a match?
