From the teenage Jonnie Peacock’s gold-medal-winning run in the 100m at London 2012 to Team GB holding off the USA to win the thrilling final of the wheelchair rugby in Tokyo three years ago, every Paralympic Games produces magical sporting moments that live long in the memory.

‘That wheelchair rugby final in Tokyo is the best live sporting moment I’ve ever witnessed!’ says JJ Chalmers, 37, who after reporting on the Paris Olympics action for the BBC is now part of C4’s presenting team for the Paralympics.
