Paris 2024 Paralympics

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.
