Show Notes
The Winter Paralympics begin in Beijing tonight and snowboarder Ben Tudehope is co-captain of the Australian team.
Ben became Australia’s youngest ever Winter Paralympian when he was selected for the 2014 games in Sochi 2014 at the age of just 14 - he was the youngest competitor from any nation at those Games. Eight years later, Ben will become a three-time Paralympian at Beijing 2022.
He's competing in two events in Beijing and is highly favoured to win a medal. Ben arrived in Beijing this week….our producer Brooke Lowther caught up with Ben from his Finland training camp just before he headed to China…
