Spotlight On: Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games

We interrupt your usual That’s So Chronic content to make way for… A Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games TAKEOVER! That’s right! It’s the opening ceremony TONIGHT (4 March) in Beijing, the games are on until the 13th, and I could not be more excited. It’s set to be the biggest Winter Paralympics yet with 650+ athletes competing in 78 events across 6 para sports and as a person who LOVES snowboarding (almost as much as I love creating this podcast!) I am frothing!

Today’s episode - Spotlight On: Beijing 2022 Paralympics Winter Games - is an explainer episode so you get to know the ins and outs of the Paralympics before tuning into the opening ceremony this evening and watching the events unfold over the next nine days. I also let you know when New Zealand is competing and let you in on a bit of drama I’ve been watching play out online...
