:00:23. > :00:29.So the clocks have gone back. The shadows lengthening. Winter has well
:00:30. > :00:41.and truly taken hold. Feeling tired? Uninspired? Time to meet some of
:00:42. > :00:45.Scotland's super heroes. This is what I can do actually. You show me
:00:46. > :00:48.that I can't do anything, actually, I can. We hear from Meggan Dawson
:00:49. > :00:53.Farrell about the obstacles she faced in getting involved in
:00:54. > :00:56.wheelchair racing. Paralympic sport is moved forward quite a lot and
:00:57. > :01:00.it's not just disabled people having a bit of fun. It is serious, elite
:01:01. > :01:02.professional sport. Could Libby Clegg represent Scotland in both
:01:03. > :01:09.para and able-bodied events at Glasgow 2014? Our main aim at the
:01:10. > :01:12.moment is to get the semifinal. And the GB wheelchair curling team have
:01:13. > :01:16.Paralympic glory on their minds. But first, it's 7am in the Borders and
:01:17. > :01:22.Sammi Kinghorn is getting ready for her morning push. I was involved in
:01:23. > :01:28.an accident with snow. And it broke my back on two December 2010. I was
:01:29. > :01:31.only 14. I basically remember my dad dragging me into the house, him
:01:32. > :01:36.sitting me onto the washing machine and I folded in half. I said to my
:01:37. > :01:43.mum and dad, I said, "I wrote my back. -- broke. I'm not going to
:01:44. > :01:47.walk again. You need to phone the ambulance." My mum kept saying, "No,
:01:48. > :01:51.no, you're just winded." I thought that I was going to be stuck in bed
:01:52. > :01:55.forever. So that night I planned my life in bed so I thought to myself,
:01:56. > :01:58.I could set up a business online. Do an online university course. My
:01:59. > :02:02.physio came with a wheelchair and that was the happiest day of my
:02:03. > :02:07.life. To see that, to know that I was able to get out of bed. I think
:02:08. > :02:13.it was harder on my mum and dad than it was on me. It was hard. She got
:02:14. > :02:17.us through it. She was the one who got us through. We wouldn't have
:02:18. > :02:25.survived had it not been for her strength. Her reaction seemed
:02:26. > :02:28.utterly remarkable. Yeah. I don't know where she gets that from.
:02:29. > :02:32.Definitely not from any of us, I mean, I was absolutely gutted. How
:02:33. > :02:41.soon did the wheelchair racing coming to be the focus, I guess, of
:02:42. > :02:44.your life? During the six months of hospital, I went down to Stoke
:02:45. > :02:47.Mandeville, which is the Spinal Unit Games, it's called, where all the
:02:48. > :02:50.spinal units, Scotland, England and Ireland all come together and they
:02:51. > :02:53.do lots of different sports, just basically meeting other people in
:02:54. > :02:57.the same position as you. That's when I done wheelchair racing for
:02:58. > :03:01.the first time. I had a little go there and I loved it. And then I
:03:02. > :03:05.came back to the Southern General and my physio got me in contact with
:03:06. > :03:10.Ian Murfin, who is my coach now, and the Red Star Club. So I went over
:03:11. > :03:13.there for just a trial, had a few pushes round the track in my day
:03:14. > :03:17.chair. And then I went back again and had a go. In someone else's
:03:18. > :03:21.chair. And that's when I decided it was definitely what I wanted to do.
:03:22. > :03:25.But all that time, I was always on YouTube looking at racing and I was
:03:26. > :03:28.hooked. In less than two years, Sammi's gone from novice to
:03:29. > :03:34.world-class and is the youngest athlete to have been named in the
:03:35. > :03:39.Scotland Commonwealth Games squad. This was when I was in the Scottish
:03:40. > :03:43.Farmer. The Scottish Farmer? Yes. You know you've made it when you're
:03:44. > :03:46.in the Scottish Farmer. I know, definitely. As a child, I'd always
:03:47. > :03:50.read the Scottish Farmer with my dad because I just used to really enjoy
:03:51. > :03:54.it. I'm quite proud of everything I've done. I think I thought my
:03:55. > :03:58.racing was just going to be just a little bit of fun. I didn't think it
:03:59. > :04:01.would take me this far. What about your award-winning coach, what's he
:04:02. > :04:05.like to work with, Ian Murfin? Yeah, he's pretty good. We have a laugh,
:04:06. > :04:09.you know. He knows me. We've been working together for about 20 months
:04:10. > :04:13.now. So he's getting to know me. He knows when to stay away from me. He
:04:14. > :04:16.knows when to come near me. We're basically like family now. I've
:04:17. > :04:21.called him dad a few times by accident. Sorry, Ian. My wife and I
:04:22. > :04:25.are both involved in disability athletics. I heard a story about a
:04:26. > :04:30.14-year-old girl in the Borders having an accident. When Sammi came
:04:31. > :04:35.along to meet us, we actually did know about her because we had seen
:04:36. > :04:39.it on the TV. Very, very quickly, we thought we will give you a target,
:04:40. > :04:47.which was the London mini marathon. It was April 2012. She finished
:04:48. > :04:52.second. The first recollection I've got to thinking, hey, wait a minute
:04:53. > :04:56.here, we were at a meet at the end of April that year in Gateshead. She
:04:57. > :05:00.did a 200 metre race and a 100 metre race with the most senior girls we
:05:01. > :05:03.have got. And she was beaten in a photo finish. These are quite hard.
:05:04. > :05:08.My dad made them. These have got steel rods right through the middle.
:05:09. > :05:13.So heavier than most rollers. When you stop pushing, they just stop.
:05:14. > :05:21.Basically, in a race, get your chair moving as quickly as you can. But
:05:22. > :05:26.it's harder than on track and on road. How intense is your training
:05:27. > :05:29.regime now? It's getting more intense because of coming towards
:05:30. > :05:33.winter. So sessions are getting longer and harder. But I train 12
:05:34. > :05:37.times a week, not always in my chair. Three days a week I do
:05:38. > :05:41.strength conditioning so it is pretty intense. I get one day off a
:05:42. > :05:47.week, so it gives me a little bit of time to relax. What can you still do
:05:48. > :05:50.on the farm? I basically still do everything I did before. My dad has
:05:51. > :05:54.been very good. Anything we couldn't do, we just looked at it and
:05:55. > :05:58.thought, right, we will get this. We will do this. And we'll just change
:05:59. > :06:02.it. I enjoy helping out, especially in the lambing season. I do a lot of
:06:03. > :06:06.work for dad in the lambing season. I do the nights and things. This
:06:07. > :06:09.year, obviously, I was out of hospital, at one point everything
:06:10. > :06:13.was happening all at once. There were so many sheep lambing that I
:06:14. > :06:16.just had to catch this sheep. I just flew myself out of the chair and
:06:17. > :06:21.grabbed on to the sheep. I somehow managed to get it to the floor and
:06:22. > :06:25.lamb it myself without any help. So I'm completely able as much as I was
:06:26. > :06:30.before my accident on the farm. How much fun are the puppies? I love
:06:31. > :06:34.puppies. I've not named it yet. I've not thought of the name. Before my
:06:35. > :06:37.accident, I was training a dog. She's just had puppies, five
:06:38. > :06:42.puppies, so Dad said I can have one and train her back-up so that I can
:06:43. > :06:49.go out on my own quad and bring in the sheep myself. And move them
:06:50. > :06:52.around without any help at all. The Commonwealth Games is obviously the
:06:53. > :06:56.focal point for 2014. What are your own feelings about it? I don't think
:06:57. > :07:00.I will medal. It's a mixed class, so I will be racing people that are an
:07:01. > :07:04.upper-class than I am. The two classes for the 1,500 metres is a
:07:05. > :07:10.class which is T53 which is my class, and a T54. T54s have full
:07:11. > :07:14.ability of their abs so when they are down on their wheelchair, they
:07:15. > :07:17.can lift their abdominal up and put more pressure basically down through
:07:18. > :07:23.the wheels. Whereas I don't have any abs. It just means I've got a little
:07:24. > :07:27.bit less power but I can work on it. It just means getting my arms
:07:28. > :07:31.stronger and faster. COMMENTATOR: Usain Bolt streaking
:07:32. > :07:36.away from the field! It's going to be gold for Jamaica!
:07:37. > :07:42.And Usain Bolt could be racing at the same time? Amazing. I'd love to
:07:43. > :07:46.meet him. That's my main aim. I'll be at his door knocking. Can you do
:07:47. > :07:50.the pose? I'll be the proudest dad under the sun for her to be walking
:07:51. > :07:55.out there with the Scottish kit on. It's what she's wanted. It's another
:07:56. > :08:01.wee tick box for her. And the nation behind her. Lots of family and
:08:02. > :08:06.friends are going. I think half of Gordon applied for tickets. But who
:08:07. > :08:11.won't be there will be watching her on television, definitely. Yeah,
:08:12. > :08:15.great granny. Yeah, she's too old to come to the Commonwealth with us but
:08:16. > :08:19.she will be sitting there glued to the telly. I think about it at
:08:20. > :08:23.night. I can just imagine when they call your name and everyone just
:08:24. > :08:25.erupting. That feeling I'm going to have, it's going to be pretty
:08:26. > :08:40.tingling. Meggan Dawson Farrell holds the
:08:41. > :08:44.Scottish record at every distance in the T54 class. She's had plenty of
:08:45. > :08:50.obstacles to overcome in her career and her life. Take me back to before
:08:51. > :08:57.you got into wheelchair racing. What was life like? I'll take you back to
:08:58. > :09:02.being in primary. I never got PE at all in school. At all. They wouldn't
:09:03. > :09:07.allow me. I got maybe one. Actually, I'd fallen over one time and that
:09:08. > :09:14.was it. They wouldn't allow me to do PE ever again becauseit was too much
:09:15. > :09:16.of a hassle. Health and safety. You'd have all the other kids,
:09:17. > :09:20.presumably, at school, doing everything else. And I saw them
:09:21. > :09:24.doing it and I wanted to go and do it, but physically I was not allowed
:09:25. > :09:28.to do it. I had no friends because even in school, with friends, I had
:09:29. > :09:33.no friends because I was disabled. And then it changed. How did it
:09:34. > :09:38.change? My mum and my auntie took me to a sports camp but I didn't know I
:09:39. > :09:43.was going to a sports camp at first. I just thought I was going on a
:09:44. > :09:47.little day trip somewhere. They took me. I got to try out some shinty.
:09:48. > :09:54.Athletics. Basketball. Football. And archery. And some other sports. I
:09:55. > :10:01.had gone to the sports camp kicking and screaming and not wanting to go.
:10:02. > :10:05.My mum and my auntie booked into a B just in case I decided I wasn't
:10:06. > :10:10.having it and that I would run off. And they would have to come and find
:10:11. > :10:16.me. But, luckily, I never. I had the best time of my life.
:10:17. > :10:22.The minute Meggan was born, she was premature. We had difficulties with
:10:23. > :10:27.that. We were told by the consultants that she also had spina
:10:28. > :10:31.bifida. She needed some intensive care, so that was quite harrowing
:10:32. > :10:35.and quite horrific. To kind of watch your new baby going through all of
:10:36. > :10:38.this. It was hard to get your footing and make your mark as a
:10:39. > :10:47.parent. And everybody looking at you and questioning whether you'd be
:10:48. > :10:51.able to fulfil your role. Furthermore, Meggan suffers from a
:10:52. > :10:54.build up of cerebral spinal fluid on the brain which needs to be drained
:10:55. > :10:57.away by a special tube called a shunt. Ongoing complications with
:10:58. > :11:04.her shunt has seen her undergo a series of major brain operations.
:11:05. > :11:10.Described the surgery you have had this year. It has been heavy duty,
:11:11. > :11:17.hasn't it? In December last year, one week ago, I had a couple of
:11:18. > :11:21.brain operations. Because I have got a shunt which got blocked. What
:11:22. > :11:28.would happen if you didn't have that? I would die probably. Does it
:11:29. > :11:32.need to be dealt with on regular occasions? It shouldn't need to but
:11:33. > :11:38.I seem to be one of the unlucky ones. The latest surgery happened
:11:39. > :11:46.one week ago. And you are back on the track already? Yes, last night.
:11:47. > :11:50.Is that OK with the doctors? They said I could go back as soon as I
:11:51. > :11:58.felt I was ready, so I had a couple of days. And then I had a week off
:11:59. > :12:03.when I got home from hospital. I decided I was fed up and wanted to
:12:04. > :12:08.get back into it. Every day she is challenging herself for the love of
:12:09. > :12:13.wheelchair racing and sport. Her life isn't going to be hampered with
:12:14. > :12:16.health issues constantly. To have something which will continually
:12:17. > :12:20.drive her is a blessing. Is that something you worry about a little
:12:21. > :12:26.bit, that something might happen? There's always a worry, my goodness,
:12:27. > :12:29.it's almost time for the Commonwealth games, and I hope
:12:30. > :12:35.nothing else goes wrong. But, if it does, then I will have to deal with
:12:36. > :12:42.it. But, fingers crossed for nothing will go wrong. What about your
:12:43. > :12:48.shoes. My lovely shoes. Is it true Katherine Grainger had to buy them
:12:49. > :12:52.off you? She did try to buy them off me. She offered me some money for
:12:53. > :12:59.them. I said no. I like them and didn't want them to be given away. I
:13:00. > :13:06.said no. I couldn't help noticing you have of socks. I have got of
:13:07. > :13:12.socks on. Cupcakes and owls. I always wear them. It's a
:13:13. > :13:19.superstition when I'm racing and stuff. I have to have socks on,
:13:20. > :13:27.otherwise the race will go wrong. I will always aware of socks. -- where
:13:28. > :13:32.order socks. As time went off, her peers didn't appreciate. The gap
:13:33. > :13:36.grew and the older she got, the further apart they became. Meggan
:13:37. > :13:43.almost shut down and wasn't as social as you would have hoped as a
:13:44. > :13:45.young girl would be. You seem to be different person from the one who
:13:46. > :13:52.grew up in school being told you can't take part in sport. I'm a lot
:13:53. > :13:57.more outgoing. I wouldn't talk to anyone. Even when I started in
:13:58. > :14:02.athletics, I wouldn't talk to the coach, I wouldn't speak to anyone,
:14:03. > :14:08.and now they can't shut me up. They tell me to shut up and I don't. You
:14:09. > :14:13.are a great advert for the power of sport as a life changer. Is that
:14:14. > :14:23.putting it too strongly? Put it anywhere you want. If you want
:14:24. > :14:29.something, you should go for it. I wanted to do athletics. In the end,
:14:30. > :14:34.I'm going for it. Glasgow 2014, all being well, what is the objective
:14:35. > :14:38.for you? When we first found out I had been selected, and I had made
:14:39. > :14:48.the qualifying time, we were hoping just to make the final. The 1500
:14:49. > :15:02.metres. But now, we are kind of hoping to medal but that is my aim.
:15:03. > :15:04.It's going to be mental and crazy. I want to come out of the stadium
:15:05. > :15:09.death because everyone shouting. The greatest achievement for us as a
:15:10. > :15:13.family is looking at the transformation of Meggan, shy and
:15:14. > :15:19.quiet girl, to a bouncing teenager who was full of life and stories
:15:20. > :15:23.and, ultimately, who can encourage other young disabled people to get
:15:24. > :15:28.into other things, not just sport, but realising, if you have ambition
:15:29. > :15:33.and drive, your life will be so much more fulfilled. It seems that your
:15:34. > :15:39.life has been a case of overcoming adversity. In a way, has that
:15:40. > :15:47.created a sense of Brazilians? I don't know, a desire to prove
:15:48. > :15:52.everybody wrong -- resilience. Yes, this is what I can do, actually. You
:15:53. > :15:57.show me I can't do something, I can, and it allows me to go and tell
:15:58. > :16:11.other people, if I can do it, so can you.
:16:12. > :16:16.Libby Clegg has won silver medals in each of the last two Paralympics.
:16:17. > :16:21.Her eyesight has been deteriorating since the age of nine. I have got an
:16:22. > :16:27.eye condition which means the loss of my central vision. I have
:16:28. > :16:31.peripheral vision, about half a metre of vision in total, really. I
:16:32. > :16:35.have got a sister and two brothers, and my two younger brothers both
:16:36. > :16:39.have the same eye condition, but in different degrees, my brothers have
:16:40. > :16:46.got slightly better side than me. COMMENTATOR: Here comes Libby Clegg.
:16:47. > :16:49.This day in Beijing was significant for her. And London 2012 was special
:16:50. > :17:14.for the whole family. So, it is a medal double that Clegg
:17:15. > :17:18.family this evening. My brother was not expected to get a medal at the
:17:19. > :17:23.Paralympics, he was taken along for experience, so it was a shock. But
:17:24. > :17:26.we competed on the same night, and he was competing one hour before me.
:17:27. > :17:31.I was really pleased for him. It was a bit of a mission for my mum,
:17:32. > :17:34.because she had to go from the pool to the track, and then back to the
:17:35. > :17:40.pool for my brother's medal ceremony, and then back to the track
:17:41. > :17:45.for mine. I think she got a lot of exercise that night. How big a star
:17:46. > :17:50.is Libby Clegg? Probably the biggest we have got. The nice ring about it
:17:51. > :17:54.is that Libby is such an unassuming person, I think she is totally
:17:55. > :18:00.unaware of how good she actually is. What do you expect of her at
:18:01. > :18:06.Glasgow? Will be more importantly, what she expect? Her expectation has
:18:07. > :18:10.to be high. I would not be putting pressure on any athlete, but Libby
:18:11. > :18:15.has to be looking at a gold medal. As a sprinter, she has got herself
:18:16. > :18:18.to the very highest echelons of the sport. She is ranked number one, she
:18:19. > :18:23.is special. Lets talk about your guide runner. How does it work,
:18:24. > :18:28.logistically? The easiest way to do is write it is like doing a three
:18:29. > :18:36.legged waste, but being attached at the wrist. -- a three legged race.
:18:37. > :18:41.But you have to be running in sync and flat out, so it takes a lot of
:18:42. > :18:46.fine tuning. My guide is not allowed to drag me, is not allowed to
:18:47. > :18:49.slingshot me, which is a new rule which came in after London, not
:18:50. > :18:54.allowed to throw you over the line. You are not allowed in us to gauge a
:18:55. > :18:58.guide ropes, and also my guide is not allowed to cross the line before
:18:59. > :19:03.me. It is a lot of pressure and a lot of responsibility. During the
:19:04. > :19:07.race, during those 12 seconds, what is going on? When I start my race,
:19:08. > :19:13.he does communicate with me. When we run together, I can put too much
:19:14. > :19:18.strain on him, and if I put too much pressure on him with my weight, if I
:19:19. > :19:23.lean on him too much, I can cause him back problems. He constantly
:19:24. > :19:27.talks to me. Obviously, that is a skill in itself because you have to
:19:28. > :19:32.be able to run at the same speed, he has to change his stride length, he
:19:33. > :19:35.has got to be really flexible, but he also has to tell me when to dip,
:19:36. > :19:40.when we are coming to the finish line, because that can make the
:19:41. > :19:43.difference. It is kind of like having somebody whispered in your
:19:44. > :19:47.ear the whole time what you are supposed to be doing, which can be
:19:48. > :19:51.really helpful, and a lot of people would love that, but they do not
:19:52. > :19:59.realise how much work goes into it, and I am really hard work. Really?
:20:00. > :20:03.Yes, definitely. And bossy. It almost sounds like a husband and
:20:04. > :20:07.wife kind of thing. Is kind of is like that, you have to communicate
:20:08. > :20:11.really well. But I think communication is the key to most
:20:12. > :20:17.relationships and friendships. COMMENTATOR: She is not running with
:20:18. > :20:24.a guide runner today, which may not too long ago, you had to run without
:20:25. > :20:27.your guide one, so what happened? The night before I was due to race
:20:28. > :20:33.here, he pulled his hamstring while we were practising with the start
:20:34. > :20:40.blocks. We had only just flown in from South Africa. I made a decision
:20:41. > :20:48.to run on my own. It was really quite scary. Just because I have not
:20:49. > :20:53.run on my own since before 2006. So, one of the last times I ran on my
:20:54. > :20:56.own in a race, I actually fell over. I was running in lane one and I
:20:57. > :21:01.ended up in lane eight. I was worried, and I had never actually
:21:02. > :21:10.run indoors before, so it was a bit scary. Libby Clegg, trying to strike
:21:11. > :21:15.back. But the Brazilian gets it. I would have run a lot but with him. I
:21:16. > :21:20.was really good form. It is just one of those things, you need to get on
:21:21. > :21:24.with it and do your job. You are an incredibly fast runner, in fact, I
:21:25. > :21:29.believe the fourth fastest in Scotland. Yes, I am ranked pretty
:21:30. > :21:36.high in Scotland in able-bodied as well. So, if Scotland had entered a
:21:37. > :21:42.100 metres relay team, they would have to pick you? Well, I think it
:21:43. > :21:46.would cause some controversy, but I think it would be interesting to put
:21:47. > :21:57.that spanner in the works and see potentially what could happen. It
:21:58. > :22:02.will be an interesting one. Can she use a guide runner? I do not know.
:22:03. > :22:09.Let's see where that rings us, it would be a nice problem to have.
:22:10. > :22:16.Logistics would be, you would need space for him on the track. I have
:22:17. > :22:20.no but it would show that Paralympic sport has moved forward quite a lot,
:22:21. > :22:24.and it is not just disabled people having a bit of fun and turning up
:22:25. > :22:33.to competitions, it is serious, elite, official sport.
:22:34. > :22:41.It is no surprise that Scottish athletes excel in a sport where low
:22:42. > :22:45.temperatures are crucial. The GB curling side is comprised entirely
:22:46. > :22:46.of Scots, and they are in the midst of preparations for the Winter
:22:47. > :23:04.Paralympics in Russia in March. A popular presence in curling
:23:05. > :23:10.circles, Tom has been wheelchair-bound since he was a
:23:11. > :23:15.teenager. My father died and left me quite a bit of money. I thought I
:23:16. > :23:18.would buy a nice flashy car. I had a road accident and I smashed my back
:23:19. > :23:26.and I have been in a wheelchair since 1967. How did you cope with
:23:27. > :23:31.it? Fiddled at first. I played a lot of football before my accident, that
:23:32. > :23:34.not a bad level. -- difficult. Finding yourself in a wheelchair as
:23:35. > :23:43.a teenager is really quite difficult. Being a teenager, it is
:23:44. > :23:46.very difficult to adjust, for a good couple of years, for me anyway. What
:23:47. > :23:52.was your attitude about it? My attitude was fine, I was pretty
:23:53. > :24:01.lucky, because sport came along about one year after, and the
:24:02. > :24:05.Scottish Paraplegic Association invited me to come along and play
:24:06. > :24:09.basketball, table tennis, and I started to go all over the world. I
:24:10. > :24:14.just had the attitude, there is nothing else you can do anyway. Most
:24:15. > :24:18.sports people are lucky to have had one international career, but Tom
:24:19. > :24:23.has had nearly half a dozen. In my younger days, I played basketball,
:24:24. > :24:28.table tennis and fencing for Great Britain. I was lucky enough to get
:24:29. > :24:32.medals in my first two Olympics for fencing, and I have carried on ever
:24:33. > :24:36.since. I took 20 years off, got married, had a family etc, and I got
:24:37. > :24:41.back into curling just a few years ago, ten years ago. I started in
:24:42. > :24:47.2004, following a chance meeting with a friend at Braehead, and they
:24:48. > :24:53.asked me to go along to the curling club. In 2005, I was selected for
:24:54. > :24:56.the Scotland team to go to the World Championships, where we won a gold
:24:57. > :25:02.medal. This will be my fifth Olympics in total. It has been a
:25:03. > :25:06.great success. I have been all over the world, met lots of new friends
:25:07. > :25:10.and I am still friends with people from other countries. What would you
:25:11. > :25:13.say is the high point of your curling career? Obviously winning
:25:14. > :25:18.the World Championship here in Scotland was a great honour. And
:25:19. > :25:22.then, in 2006, we were in the final with one shot to go to win the gold,
:25:23. > :25:24.and unfortunately we missed and came back with the silver, but it was
:25:25. > :25:42.still a pinnacle of my career. Aileen will become the first female
:25:43. > :25:49.captain of a GB team at the games. Her coach Tony is literally counting
:25:50. > :25:54.the days. We are down to about 125 sleeps if my maths is good. It has
:25:55. > :25:58.been very busy so far. We selected early and tried to give the core
:25:59. > :26:02.four athletes as much time as possible to play together. We are
:26:03. > :26:06.getting between 60-80 games in as a squad before we get to Sochi, which
:26:07. > :26:11.will be the most we have ever played as a cohesive unit going into a
:26:12. > :26:18.Games. Much more travel, two trips over to Canada, which we have not
:26:19. > :26:23.done previously. So, very, very extensive preparation. We are doing
:26:24. > :26:31.six hours a day, and that is a regular programme for us during the
:26:32. > :26:36.week when we are back in Scotland. Can the team win gold at the Winter
:26:37. > :26:39.Olympics? I think the team has got the ability to put in a solid
:26:40. > :26:42.performance. That is what we are worried about. We are looking at,
:26:43. > :26:47.technically, are we the most proficient team, tactically, are we
:26:48. > :26:52.making the right calls, and then within the team, do we have the best
:26:53. > :26:54.dynamics to allow those for athletes to be able to achieve their
:26:55. > :27:01.potential technically and tactically? Yes, we have seen it,
:27:02. > :27:05.however, if we do not focus, then the medals become dreams, not we're
:27:06. > :27:20.letting. So, it can be a reality? It can. -- not reality. You have been
:27:21. > :27:24.there, you have done it - what chances of success are there at the
:27:25. > :27:28.Winter Olympics? Looking at the last three tournaments we have been at, a
:27:29. > :27:32.lot of the teams from those are going, and we have managed to come
:27:33. > :27:37.out on top. The chances are, not being too optimistic Emma but it
:27:38. > :27:40.would be really good to get to a semifinal. That is our main aim at
:27:41. > :27:52.the moment. Anything from there would be brilliant. You can lose a
:27:53. > :27:59.semifinal and get nothing, but if you win, you are guaranteed either
:28:00. > :28:02.gold or silver. You have had hammering illustrious career, in
:28:03. > :28:11.different sports, and now you have been fully inducted into parasport
:28:12. > :28:14.'s royalty in Scotland. Yes, I was inaugurated into the Hall of Fame
:28:15. > :28:20.last year, which is the first time it has ever been done. I was one of
:28:21. > :28:24.the first 20 entries into that, and it is one of the pinnacles of my
:28:25. > :28:31.career. There is not many people get the chance to do that. To be one of
:28:32. > :28:37.the first in, I am so happy, so, so proud. It would be a massive boost
:28:38. > :28:43.if you could go on and get gold once again. Hopefully, that is the aim.
:28:44. > :28:48.Find out how to get involved in sport in your area on the BBC
:28:49. > :28:53.website... Live life to the full, no matter what. If you get something
:28:54. > :28:59.chronic just deal with it then and see what happens. Paralympic sport
:29:00. > :29:02.has moved forward quite a lot. It is not just disabled people having a
:29:03. > :29:08.bit of fun, it is serious, elite, professional sport. I do not want to
:29:09. > :29:09.be known for my accident, I want
