Australian Paralympic medal winners are to receive the same financial reward as Olympians for the first time.
Elite sport is 100 percent made up of people who have had to overcome someone, or something, to rise to the top above the weekend battlers who play it for fun. But in no other sporting arena are the hurdles faced so high, the stories as inspiring as you’ll find at the Paralympics.
