Sammi Kinghorn: Finding new paths forward

The Game Changers

Sammi Kinghorn’s journey from a life-changing farming accident to the top of the Paralympic podium is nothing short of extraordinary. A double world champion, Commonwealth medallist, Paralympic gold winner and now a popular BBC presenter, Sammi’s story is one of unbreakable resilience.

In this powerful conversation, Sammi opens up about:

• Rebuilding her life as a teenager after a devastating spinal injury
• The mental battles behind the medals – and how anxiety has shaped her racing career
• The fight for equality and representation in para sport
• Finding purpose beyond the track and redefining what success really looks like
• An inspiring and honest conversation
