This week paralympian Noel Thatcher MBE and 5-time Paralympian, talks to friend of the show Jarryd Clifford, starting with his impressive range of personal bests on the track and road and challenges getting records ratified.
Noel explains about being born with his vision impairment and how getting caught smoking at boarding school developed his ability to mix it with able-body competitors in the English school system. He recounts making his first of 5 Paralympic teams representing Great Britain at the 1984 Los Angeles Paralympics and whether he lived up to his own expectations, then redeeming himself in the 800m in Seoul Paralympics in 1988 after getting knocked off the track.Noel talks about the years between Paralympic Games, including competing and throwing banter at the European Championships, getting misguided by Aussie Pat Scammell as well as declaring his strategy to the media at the 1992 Barcelona Games and experimenting with longer distances in Japan. Noel then goes on how an injury in the lead up to Atlanta prevented him from pulling off the “full Zatopek”, the unforgettable atmosphere of Sydney Paralympics and how he was announced as the flag bearer for the Athens Games. 
Closes with retiring as an athlete and watching the parathlete movement swell, how far it’s come and getting support, what needs to change for para-sport to grow and what he looks forward to.

Post race Jess goes into how she processed such a moment and reflects on what it means for her now within the Australian running landscape, closing into what happened on her long run with Paula Radcliffe and the plans moving forward for the next few months ahead.
