❓What are your wishes for the sports industry in terms of inclusion?
•
❗"I wish that they would recognize the fact that people in wheelchairs need different clothing to non-disabled people. We don’t think that inclusion is somebody in a wheelchair using the same kind of jacket as somebody who isn't. People in wheelchairs – and also other people – know that they need a special design. They're a legitimate group of people with legitimate requirements for the design. Our vision is that sitting people should not accept clothing for standing people any longer."
