If you feel you deserve a bit of a bonus, let me tell you that

tonight's Millionaire Raffle? Let's find out. Tonight's ?1 million

raffle winning number: Check four tickets for a further 20

prizes of ?20,000 in tonight's raffle too. New, time to make more

millionaires with the Lotto medal event results. Are you one of the

lucky winners: Now, after the huge success

of the Olympics and Team GB, we're looking

forward to the Paralympics. Tonight we meet para-canoeist

Nick Beighton as he makes My name's Nick Beighton, I'm a

parakayaker. I always wanted to join the military from a young age. I did

all my training and served for nine years in the end. In 2009 I was on

tour in Afghanistan with an infantry company. I was unlucky enough to

stand on an IUD on a foot patrol. It caused catastrophic injuries and

changed my life. The military was a big part of my life. To move beyond

that you need a focus, a reason to get up day to day, and to have the

goals to push yourself to be fitter and stronger. Sport has a lot of the

same elements that being in the military does. So it's been a really

nice transition to be able to come into the sport post military. Ready,

set, go! To be quite a good paddler you need

strength across the whole body. With Nick he's a bilateral amputee, but

he has good hip drive. The ability to rotate is important in kayaking.

It is how you enter and exit the blade. You are trying to get as much

rotation through the torso as possible. The idea would be the

athlete enters the blade there, lock it in, rotate and exit the blade to

the side. He will repeat this at 120 stroke rate per minute. Nick came

from rowing, so he was used to going backwards. We got him into the boat

and he needs to go forwards. His progression within the sport has

been incredibly quick. It is still going. We are just waiting to find

out whether the Paralympics have come a little too soon to see the

best in Nick. I've only been in the boat 18 months, probably only in the

last two or three months have I felt comfortable technically with what

I'm delivering. I definitely think there's a lot more to come. He's

going to be number one in the world, no doubt about it, because he's got

the determination, the characteristics, the single

mindedness which is needed of an elite athlete. With the team around

him supporting him, he's got everything he needs to do that, if

he decides to. What a brilliant film. Now more Millionaire Raffle

event numbers. Thank you Alan. I'll see you next

Saturday Have a good weekend everybody. Bye-bye.

I will bring you down if I ever catch you up to something larcenous.
