Years of spending time living in a van away from his family during the week paid off for Germany’s Thomas Wandschneider who won his first Paralympic medal at age 60.

The Para-badminton athlete won bronze in the men’s singles WH1 in Paris which was also Germany’s first-ever Para-badminton medal at the Paralympic Games.

Wandschneider speaks to Sport Today’s Mani Djazmi about the sacrifices he and his family have made to achieve his sporting goals.
