The Paralympics in Paris have been amazing with packed stadiums, intense competition, great performances and the event has shown the world what sport can do.

But it is hard not to think, as we leave here, about what the legacy of the Games is going to be.

Paris took that further in terms of sustainability, with lots of steps, platform lifts, not always decent viewing platforms.

Public transport has been another issue, as it always will be in an old city like Paris .

We now have a Paralympic champion in Hunter Woodhall married to an Olympic champion in Tara Davis-Woodhall and they could do things to really put Para-sport on the map. Overall, the Games have been incredible and perhaps the sports legacy for France will come in 2028 , but it does feel like we are leaving a city that will have embraced the Games and perhaps will think a little differently about disability, and a Paralympic movement which has taken another step forward..
