Losing a leg in a lawnmower accident would be catastrophic for most people. But swimming star Sophie Pascoe believes it’s the best thing that has happened to her. She reveals how her family helped her turn a negative into a positive and how she developed the drive to become one of the world’s greatest Paralympians. And, of course, she talks about bursting on to the international sporting stage with three gold medals and a silver as a schoolgirl at the Beijing Paralympic Games in 2008, her brush with losing her other leg and the mental strength she had to summon to go on to break a swag of world records and reap three further gold medals at the 2012 London Paralympics.
