That’s a wrap from La Défense Arena in Paris, home of the Para Swimming competition for the Paris 2024 Paralympics.
Working with Timeline Television, and Whisper Productions I was based at La Défense for two weeks, where we delivered live daily coverage of the Games from the Channel 4 studio, presented by Clare Balding, Rose-Ayling-Ellis and former Team GB Paralympian,, Ellie Simmonds.
Our first broadcast made history as Rose Ayling-Ellis became the first deaf person to present live sports coverage on TV with the assistance of her team of interpreters.
A 200 strong team from Timeline, Whisper and Channel 4 produced extensive coverage of the Paralympics, with more than 1,300 hours of live sport airing for free across Channel 4, More4, Channel 4 Streaming and Channel 4 Sport’s YouTube.
