When you say im not crazy about dealing with you guys, what does that refer to . Well, you have said you dont especially like the Press Conference format. And yet that seems to be, obviously, the most widely used means of communicating to the media and through the media to the public. Hm, thats interesting. I would say the occasion, like, when to do the Press Conferences, is what i feel is the most difficult. Naomi 0saka. Time now to hearfrom one of the paralympic� s biggest stars. She has five paralympic golds, over ten World Titles and three europeans to her name. Hannah cockroft is a force to be reckoned with. And shes going for gold again in tokyo next week, at her third games, which, like the olympics, will feature no Spectators Injapan due to covid.

Hannah the Hurricane Cockroft is one of the Paralympic Games biggest names two golds in london, three in rio. Will there be more in tokyo . It is going to be a very different games to the last two that ive experienced. But thats the magic of the games. No two are the same. So this ones going to be very, very different a trip back to the Family Home is a chance to reflect on the past 12 months and a build up to a games like no other. I feel like that extra year, it gave me the chance to just rest a little Bit And Work on things that sometimes get swept under the rug. I actually really enjoyed that part of the process, just going back to, actually, what bits of the sport do i enjoy . Theres no competitions to aim for, no times to beat. Im just going to have fun. And i feel like that really gave me some passion back, to get in this year and really want to do well. I am finally trying on all my kit. And no matter how many times youve represented your country, that new Kit Excitement never gets old. Normally, i wouldnt be trying on my kit in my living room, id be at a Kitting Out Process Somewhere in a big warehouse, with my whole team, and wed all be doing it together, so youve got to make It Fun in your own ways. And at 11pm at night, when youve been trying kit on for four hours, that was the only way i could do it watching her races on the Tv Back Home is nerve racking stuff for family and friends. I rarely actually see the first race. I have to watch it afterwards because ill be hiding behind my hands or something. Its just too nerve racking to watch. And you must be a proud brother . Yeah, i suppose so. I mean, everyone sees all the Glitz And Glamour of it, but im the one whos chasing her to do her E Mails and everything every day, so ive got the behind the scenes, which takes the shine off it a bit. But, no, it all comes| to a good conclusion. I guess for tokyo, the target is coming home with two golds. Thats definitely the plan, yeah. I mean, currently, theres no reason why i cant do that. And i always think if youre going to go for anything, why would it not be gold . So, yeah, thats what i would like, but well see what happens. Shes been looking strong this year, retaining her 400 metre british champion title injune. You certainly wouldnt bet against her achieving those golden goals.

If the 14 time Gold Medallist manages to defend her three titles in cyclings individual pursuit, time Trial And Road race, she will become the most successful british paralympian of all time. But does that legacy bring extra pressure . Certainly on the morning of the race, you have got that big juggernaut of success behind you and you want to continue to add to that. But it is also an opportunity to prove to yourself that the training you have been doing has been in the right direction, that all of that work you have been doing is going to go to a great performance. Iamjust as i am just as excited about the race as the uncertainty it might bring. Yeah, i think it is really important to focus on the positives and life will go on after regardless of the result.
